That's a tank. I'd sure like to discuss tactics with you. I hope to contact my 1rst hybrid of this season in March. Have located some river locations to try this year. I believe by adding river to the equation will = getting whipped by bigger fish.

It was released, Tim, but you can bet that I'm looking for a good opportunity to send you a giant bluegill sometime this year! I'll try to get a 13-incher. :-)
