Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

257 is the winning answer. I created this post way back when so no one would worry about tampering!

 

4/13/2011 - look for a winner to be announced soon from the (ChicagoFishingSchool website entries too). I will announce some runner-up winners too!!

I have been out of town, fishing, teaching and ultra busy, but will catch up tonight.

I have more photos to post and 257 was the magic number so I will chase down 3 winners from the entries and I can say I believe they are all here on the BBG.com. 

The prize chest grew thanks to a donation from David so the winner will have their choice of a float set -or- a really cool fishing tips video. This will be a tough choice as the float set is an "ultimate" gill-fishing set (the same ones I used to catch the 257 fish, as well as 311 fish & 205 fish in the last 3 times out). 

I hope everyone had a little fun guessing - I will have more photos of recent outings to post tonight as well.
