Great fish. Congrats on the PB.

Seems like it's getting worse out there Bob.

Not sure if they spawn twice - they take a beating.  Fish I caught today were mostly post spawn which is weird because the surface temp went back down to 68*F. Even found post spawn females over 35 FOW. These CNBG spawn all the way into September. I find fish in staging areas that are pre and post spawn.

Nice Sonny! Sounds like spawning time? Do you think the gills spawn twice during the spring/summer or just once, but at different times?

When I'm float tubing I usually stay inside the buoys....too many crazy jet skiers and boats!

What a pig! You're about a month behind Bob... One week back by the island - got two 12s, two 11.5s and over a dozen 11s. Stopped counting 10s, lol. Last day I fished we trolled the south side of the island and found big fish there too. Be Careful - longer kick - and there are way more idiots on the lake.

Thanks!

Jeff: Caught it using my 6-weight with an intermediate line. Same set-up I use for Bluegill, except for Bluegill I use a weighted fly and let it sink down in deeper water when I'm float tubing.

Wow Bob!  Big fish!  Did you use the same flyrod set-up that you use for Bluegill?
