RE: Fourty Three jumbo Bluegills
WOW...!!... Those are some AWESOME bluegills, Chuck...Nice catch...
I don't know of anyplace locally where I can get bluegills of THAT size on a regular basis, although one of the Finger Lakes, Honeyoye, comes close with limit catches of 9-10 inchers being routine during the spawn...
I always make sure to make a few trips for bluegills during may and early June to stock my freezer.. They are favorite eating fish...Little buggers FIGHT like demons, too, for thier size...
