I've never been shy to admit that I'm the luckiest fisherman in the world. I wish everyone could experiance Richmond Mill Lake.

It's not as easy as it looks in the video. They are still Bluegill and they are on one day and off the next. I figure with a few more years of records I might come close to figuring them out half of the time. That's why I come here and read all I can. I am a bass fisherman who's determined to figure out this bluegill world.

I was using a black and yellow 1/16oz RoadRunner.

Alright, first. I'm jealous. I get to fish one or two days a week - and it aint on Richmond Mill Lake.

With that out of the way, it looks like your tossing a Beetle Spin. It sure does work at that spot. I'm guessing the fish there would probably hit a doorknob if you tossed it at 'em?

I caught the biggest bluegill of my life last week on a black and green Road Runner.  You da man, Gene!

I know that spot..... :-)

Nope, I had a day off from guiding on Richimond Mill Lake so I went looking for bluegill. As you probably know this is the same lake that Bruce Condello has been catching all of his big ones. I'm the lucky guy who gets to spend every day on that lake.

You don't play fair Gene! Way to go. Were you back on the Savannah?
