I caught on a little jig/crawler combo out of my float tube.

....the amazing thing is how TALL these fish are.  It's unbelievable.

There have been reports at Herman Brother's Lake of hybrid bluegill that tickle the two-pound mark.  Maybe this fish has reached that level now.  I plan on fishing again for these fish in the next few days.

I wander how big he is now Bruce. Any plans to get back and fish the same location! Herman Brothers can be proud of their work. An "All Star" fish on a network with hundreds of great fish!

VERY nice Bruce! And in a float tube? Even better! Congrats!!!!

Very cool ! :) Apparently Bluegill and Green Sunfish like to hybridize naturally (in the wild) also, as a few years ago, I was catching a TON of them at Clear Lk. CA. In fact, my catch was about 60% Bluegill X Green Sunfish hybrids, 35% pure Bluegill, and 5% all other.

 

The hybrids were big, strong, beautiful, and agressive, too  :-)

 

Peace,

Fish

Actually I was in a float tube when I caught it, but we went to shore to capture a good picture.

Herman Brothers do an amazing job of raising great fish for their clients to enjoy.  They really have some piggies!
