Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

 

"I have a friend who's a dentist in Lincoln....

growing bigger Bluegills is what he's a'thinkin'.

He'll practice genetic selection...

in search of Lepomis perfection,

Or maybe, he'll cross em' with a Chinquapin.......

 

Happy 50th Birthday Bruce!!!!!! Hope you have a great day, and thanks for all that you do for us here at BBG!!

Happy bday Bruce..

"A dentist at the crack of dawn,

Trashallunge hunter at the setting dusk,

Building snow man in May on his lawn,

Grabbing mammoth gills by the tusk,

Friends abundance, jealous enemies even more,

As his CSBG shakes fishery genetic's core.

I ask you, has his half century past,

Will his ambitions forever last?

Exceeding the limits and breaking norms,

Or be his body resting with worms?

50 more years, friends, we shall see,

This overseer and his smirking glee,

Brilliantly polished, reflecting the light,

Battling water titans with all his might

As BBG family members cheering on the fight.
