Let's see, Nebraska is how far away again? If I leave now, don't stop for breakfast, or lunch, or bathroom breaks........ then again, I'll be at Big Cedar in October, what's an extra few days and a few hundred more miles matter when you're hunting for big Bluegills?
Seriously though, how awesome would it be to fish with other BBG members? When I think about all I could learn, and the fun I could have...... I would be honored to fish with anyone here, anytime.

We can definitely make that happen. When can you get here?

I simply hate it when all of the 2-3 lb. BG I catch begin to blend together......
It's almost enough to make me want to take up Bass fishing.....
Almost.
Bruce, can I fish with you?

I think 3 pounds and 2 3/4. I'll have to check. Been fortunate enough to catch enough big blugill this year that they're blending together.
