Default RE: 2 guys 2 hours 14 10'' blue gills

jashoffa I got up this am and it was -14F and the wind was supposed to blow. I decided I would take the day off from fishing and do some work around here. Funny how the big ones seem to run together. 2 days ago I was getting some smallish bluegills and decided to move to a spot about 100' away. I started to get small to medium sunnies and then they became tankers. They were so big that I couldn't get my hand around them to get the hook out. I had to pin them to my leg to hold them. They were so aggressive that they were on about half way down on the slow step drop in about 8' of water. Every drop they bit and it lasted about 30 minutes. They were real big through the shoulders and filled a 5 gal bucket in a hurry. Got them on a 28" ul ice rod with 3 lb Trilene ice line on an orange rocker (size 8 hook) tipped with waxies.
