Please notice that Bruce is sporting a new growth of gray chin whiskers... a common trait among big bluegills experts, nationwide. The guys from Southern California have long been abandoning the razor and they catch huge gills. I finally started growing my stuff back and my catch rates on big fish immediately surged.

The most amazing aspect of this incredible catch is that somebody 'grew' this fish to these dimensions.

I think I know who. But I'm not telling!

Bruce, I thin this picture just proved a thought I had when a gill hits a bait!!!!! Is a Bluegill crosseyed when it strikes!!!!! As big as this fish is and as small as the spoon was he has to be crosseyed just to see it!!!!!

Great FISH and Shot!!!

Bruce, that's a freak of nature. Did you get him around a Leaking Nuclear plant in South Carolina...LOL

That gill must work out and take protein (little fishes).
