I'd recommend taking today's paper to put the fish on when you take the photos. Might be hard to convince some of the guys here otherwise.

Nrthrn, You are one of the best "sports" on this forum! abishop, I truly hope they don't take you too $:-\$ . Leave your worms at home... these Goliath's eat human. Tie your finger on... guaranteed to catch 3 on the same hook!

SouthBend · « **Reply #99 on:** Mar 06, 2012, 12:16 PM »

This just might be one of the best threads I have ever read on this board. I check it daily in anticipation!

I know where too and have heard the same from other people including my grandfather who used to fish out there 30+ years ago. I just never had a way on.

I went out to that gravel pit this afternoon. I went to go get several of those 5# blue gills. On my way I tripped on a morel. Since I knew I could catch big blue gills there anytime, I chose to pick mushrooms. I only brought home 4 because they were a little smaller than usual and I knew it would be better tomorrow. The mushrooms are always big at this particular gravel pit. When I got home i weighed the 4 mushrooms and as I suspected they were a little below average,they only weighed 30lbs. 9 ozs. The average weight would be 8 lbs. a piece. I would show you the pictures but unfortunatley when I tripped on that first morel I fell and, wouldn't you know it, I broke my camera. You will just have to take my word for it.

I am awaiting the next excuse. Although it would be funny if dude posted a picture with a ton of cannon gills that mad our mouths drop.

abishop · « **Reply #104 on:** Mar 06, 2012, 06:38 PM »

You just have to be ready for anything. Remember my son, patience is a virtue grasshopper.

sprkplug · « **Reply #105 on:** Mar 06, 2012, 07:13 PM »

A cooler full of world record Bluegills. Shoot, a cooler full of State record Bluegills.

I say again.... on the digital scale, next to the tape. Just like the photos I posted.

The fish must break 3lbs 4ozs to claim state. 13.5" long.

Hmmmm.....they must not have been biting when they went the other day.

I'll bet that solar storm has got them in a negative pattern. $:-\$

Is this the thread about the two 28" bass??? What did I miss.
Oh Crap I always come in late

Jig_Head · « **Reply #109 on:** Mar 09, 2012, 03:46 AM »

No, but we all catch 28" bass on this thread. This ones about 16 inch gills, a lot of suspense and no evidence

He seems like a nice guy...

abishop · « **Reply #111 on:** Mar 09, 2012, 06:33 PM »

He is my # 1 new bestest buddy. He is taking me to the famous HONEY HOLE. Just have to wait my turn.

fishon35 · « **Reply #112 on:** Mar 09, 2012, 06:57 PM »

What # are you in line??? I'm tellin you, if I lived near the pits and was offered a seat in the truck, but became a number, I'd do something to jump the line. Hell, you might have to give him a back rub, but at least you'll get to go!

abishop · « **Reply #113 on:** Mar 09, 2012, 07:05 PM »

What ever it takes. I will be the next new world record bluegill holder.

sprkplug · « **Reply #114 on:** Mar 10, 2012, 07:57 AM »

The sad part is, this thread was the most entertaining thing that happened to me this past season. My ice never got over 1.5" thick. I fished open water most of the winter.

Never caught any 16" Bluegills, though.

I'm starting to lose interest...lol. If the pics of the hog bluegills get posted someone wake me up or send me a PM.

fishon35 · « **Reply #116 on:** Mar 10, 2012, 02:31 PM »

Northrn, where are you? The Pits? Are you ok? Did they get you to? We are getting concerned!

Hard to post pics of fish that don't exist......16" gills by the cooler full, you would think somewhere, someone he has taken would have a picture or two of these monster gills, since they are world record quality fish.

sprkplug · « **Reply #118 on:** Mar 10, 2012, 09:57 PM »

I'll post one of mine from today, hopefully to get things started......... 10", and 1lb 1oz.
