Blue Gill Palooza
« on: Mar 01, 2015, 08:14 PM »
Made It out with Stinkybaits today in the Snow Storm. We hit a new spot and found a mass school of fish. Fish were up shallow in 5-6ft next to heavy weed lines. Ended up with 120 gills 7.5-9", most were around the 8" range...just nice thick eaters. Lead wraps with no bait was the ticket.

Nice pile there.  My hand is sore thinking about cleaning 120 at one time, but that is a quick way to fill the freezer.  WTG!   :tipup:

Not really that many to clean when you divide them by 3. I will clean 45, Stinky  45, and I gave 30 to a friend.

Good job on slaying them gills.
Fisherman's Prayer
   I pray that I may live to fish
          Until my dying day.
And when it comes to my last cast,
       I then most humbly pray:
When in the Lord's great landing net
           And peacefully asleep,
      That in His mercy I be Judged
              BIG ENOUGH TO KEEP.

Looks like you did as good as my son and I did on Sun.  It was his first day this year so I let him borrow the vex all day.  He had a ball and is ready to back.  He didn't think that I could fish without the vex and I proved him wrong.

I usually don't keep more than 25 only because I don't want to clean more
