Remember back in the winter ice fishing thread I said about how I was catchin some big gillz? well I was kinda forced into fishing this pond again. I went to my favorite gill pond to catch a bunch of small ones for bait for catfish. well they had just stocked the pond with trout for this weekends fishing derby. So I went to the next pond. After looking around a bit I found a small hole in the vegetation that was all over this pond. First drop in and had a big slab gill. Three more drops resulted in three more slab gills. I'm thinkin man this is some good fishin. I'll keep these for supper. well I changed tactics a bit and ended up catchin a mess o slabs. I didn't count but I had atleast 1 1/2 doz in the basket at the end of the day. after looking them over most still had eggs left to lay so I put a guilt :rolleye: trip on myself. and threw em all back. But :readthis:.... I got pics this time.
some more
and a sunset for jim of the pond I was at.
Your like me.....start jerking them hens outta the water with big ole bellies and get a guilt trip. :laf:
Those are some nice size bluegills though :yoyo: And such good eating, it would have been a tough decision.
Sometimes taking some snaps is just as good. :wink:
Looks like it was a beautiful afternoon to be on the water too.
yeah it was a good day. I figured the bigguns can wait for a few more weeks. they'll be there later. Prob gonna head back again and hit another pond on the property to catch some smaller ones.
