You know, I pm'd this guy back when he first posted this and thought that I might get to go, but I never got a response. I do know what pit he is talking about though, and I'm not really sure that he had the "permission" that he said he had. Those pits are owned by Walsh and Kelly, and Reith Riley and I think may still be in operation. As far as the enormous size that was bragged about, well I will leave that to your imagination.

I had been steelhead fishing last year for about a month once this thread was started so I never read it until just now. Haven't fished last ice ever because I usually begin steelhead fishing around mid Feb. I can't believe what I miss out on by not checking in after mid Feb. I just read all 9 pages though. If that place freezes he will surely be eating well this winter.

I'm thinking there should be ice on the gravel pits by now

I think it is just frozen! Looks like he is holding by the gill flap on the backside. It is a bigun for sure, but would like to see it on a tape like you said.

3.5 pound gill? Did it come across the ooze from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?

HuntHard · « **Reply #160 on:** Feb 15, 2013, 02:30 PM »

Yeah dont think my 12 " Bull gill was mounted lol my ice fishing partner and i made a trip to Nebraska where the gill and pike fishing is awesome

The pics were taken on an older camera phone so theyre not the greatest quality but my buddys gill was 10 1/2" and the best pike was 38 " since we got the fish verified as all three of these are Nebraska Master Angler award fish I will post a picture of the award certs after we recieve them !!! This one a phenomial trip but I couldnt even dream of a 16" Bluegill. My partner shown with the 10 1/2" gill just broke the WY state record crappie and it was only 15 3/8" long lol http://county10.com/2013/01/13/record-black-crappie-caught-at-boysen-reservoir/
A 16" Would be one heck of a trophy and one would most likely have some pics

Only. Lol

I am surprised in all this time someone hasn't figured out a way to fish this pit and confirm or deny the story. Well........maybe they have and aren't reporting for a reason....

This is a replica of that world record Bluegill. I bought it at a local sporting good store that was closing its fishing dept. I like seeing it on my wall, its quite the dream.

Joe2727 · « **Reply #171 on:** Nov 24, 2013, 11:34 AM »

I fish a couple of private lakes and on Camelot I catch some really good size gills I'm hoping to get a few to put on the wall.

This is the 2nd time I have had the pleasure to read through this thread (and it keeps growing all the time). It is my new tradition before Ice Season. This is as good as our family tradition of watching Lampoons Christmas Vacation every year. It is worthy of its own t-shirt for iceshanty folk. Good Luck All!

Got out to the old pits the other day, I filled a cooler wth the biggest gills u will ever see, and so many bass I was sick of them by the time i left. The flx28 just showed a red circle, didn't need it anyway tho, couldn't get my jig to the bottom before it got inhaled.

Gillhunter97 · « **Reply #174 on:** Jan 16, 2015, 10:43 AM »

Went to the south bend pit and got myself a bucket full of 17 inchers.. yes 17 not 16.. I'm now a record holder!

Awesome!!

I caught this one last year in the pit during softwater season.

HuntHard · « **Reply #176 on:** Jan 28, 2015, 09:39 AM »

I ventured across the country for my shot at the pits !! Couldn't catch the gills but I found a perch !!

Old Goat · « **Reply #177 on:** Jan 28, 2015, 10:36 AM »

Once again this thread made my day. I've been arguing with other IS members so much I forget to go out on the ice.

Slabhunter136 · « **Reply #178 on:** Jan 28, 2015, 10:46 AM »

We catch them like that ALL the time, especially this year

..............
