Caught him on grubs… I found a batch of grubs yesterday getting them garden planted. Grubs have always been a great bait… eye appeal I think. Anyway, bucket lid for comparison [Linked Image]

That's a dandy for sure! Did you measure it?


Most in this country have things people in other countries only dream about. Yet, they want America to be more like those other countries.

They didn’t weigh this one they didn’t weigh it because the scales where in the truck and didn’t want to stress it waiting on guy to bring them

If I only had bear/bluegill for meat the rest of my life I'd be a happy camper.
That's a beauty!


swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

really nice gill foxkidd!!!!! You get it at shelbyville?

A buddy of mine has been after them for a cpl weeks and has been catching some real nice ones too. He has one 12 incher this year, with a few more over 10.

I have been way to busy to even think of going.
