I fileted it up with the other gills I caught that day. Before fileting I did show it to the family as I did not think they would believe it either. That was in the day when we didn't take many pics and didn't have the money to mount. Frying em up was what we did.

Yes good idea about an Italian name. I plan on getting my picture on the sight just as soon as my son shows me how to do it.
Loved the story about the Hidden Pond. Loved the ending when the guy said he remembered the smile.
Later then

Can you put in a search engine for big bluegill members? If you do please put a search by location. This site is gettin huge and its an oppertunity to talk with alot more guys that are fishing under the same conditions as me and it would make it a whole lot easier to view there profiles to see what there catching and maybe start up more discussions about fishing in our regional conditions!

Just a thought!

At 7:49pm on January 13, 2009, Tony G said…: Thanks. Sitting here in northwest Pa under a foot of snow and 10 degrees. Just bought a home with a nice strip mine lake out back and wondering if I can wait until spring to fish it or drill some holes one of these weekends and see what is catchable.

I got a chance to try it november and caught a lot of small crappie and a few small bluegill. Don't know if the fish are "stunted" or the big ones were hiding? Caught some nice largemouths in the 2 to 3 pound range.

Esspecially the big black bluegill in what looks like some kind of bayou or swamp country. I caught a 3/4 pound black out of the Minnesota River a couple years ago. Its lateral line or "stitch" line was red along with its eye. It was some kinda weird hybrid I think. Nice site man!

I must say I'm impressed with all the folks chatting back and forth about a very simple and yet very pleasing activity. And it is very simple, one putting high tech into fishin their missin out on a sweet part of life. Glad I 'hooked-up' with everyone.........

I was fishing at Ketona Lakes by Birmingham Alabama in 1958 with my uncle and some of his fishing buddies. The good old boys from Alabama fished for fun and table food. I baited with a red worm on some very light test line and threw the line into the very clear water. I was using a cane pole and a quill for a bobber. This was the type of fishing that was done in this part of the country. The group that I was with caught many good size Bluegills that day but mine was the biggest. No one had a camera with them, so on the way from the lake we stopped at a local gas station to buy some gas. They sold groceries and had a meat scale and my Uncle Bob ask the attendant if they could weigh my fish. I assume that the scale was close to being accurate, the Gill weighed at 2 pounds and 9 ounces. Uncle Bob brought all of the fish home that day and cleaned them so that my Aunt Mae could cook them for our supper. I will never forget that summer in Birmingham Alabama that I spent with my Uncle Bob and Aunt Mae. I still have the memories of that great summer as a young boy learning how to fish and spending quality time with loved ones.
