Those HBG are absolutely amazing. It's like they're fiberglass replicas they're so perfect. Very nice! Obviously some great management going in and excellent water quality.

One more test from the phone.  From Barkley Lake this morning, I think I have this figured out.

This guy went 9.25" and 16 ozs even.  Tony -- you are another troublemaker, just like George and his HSB.  If it wasn't for you, I don't think I'd have ever gotten addicted to HBG.  Thanks, Ken

Nice Shorty! Great fish AND figured out how to post pics from the phone. I'm jealous all the way around.
"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.

Thanks, Ken Hey Ken, it’s not me and Tony that are trouble makers, it’s T.J. that got fancy with his hoity/toity Photoshop color enhancement on his fish that is going to make me start posting fish pictures again. I felt like I was just posting the same pictures over and over again but …hey T.J. - how ‘bout a tutorial - your pictures are just too purty.. With all our fresh water in our ponds from recent rains, I am putting bigger rungs on my HSB stocking ladder this year. Everyone knows I got clobbered by a massive fish kill during record drought of 2011 and lost my big fish, so I am rolling the dice this year since I have new water and up-graded aeration systems. Todd has 50 primo HSB that he will deliver next week or so and since he harvests with a fly rod he is giving me a hard time that I have hook trained HSB on th way - I can hardly wait. Hey Tony, me and Al got some OTS CNBG pictures coming soon …  Best, George

A guy I was fishing with this past weekend in east Tx was using a crazy looking fishing reel.

Mark, he gets double points for having that reel on a spinning rod.
Nice fish, and glad you got out some.

So post the pics George and Al ! OK, I'll begin posting my fish pictures as soon as TJ tells me exactly how to PhotoShop my pics to get those pretty photos - he fessed up!..  Also TJ - how do you get the "wet look"?.. I'll have to rely on my color coordinator to make sure the colors are correct!.. G/

Caught an honest-to-goodness dinosaur today. Stocking class of 2010. Ten and a half, and 22 ozs.  Same fish:  Eleven inches:

You 3 boys have at it. I've had absolutely no time to fish, so I finally took an hour yesterday and gave it a shot. I immediately gut hooked 3 CNBG, and quit. The CNBG spawning colors are pretty vibrant right now, but no superstars caught yet.
Beautiful fish Tony. That first one's a fatty for sure.

Al/FIH is too busy doubling down on his Zumba classes....
Trying to get svelte for the summer....but it's just not happening.

Sounds like we have an old fashioned Texas pond monster bluegill standoff/runoff/duel underway....
can't wait to see the results after the smoke clears

Here's a few from today. Not as bright as yesterday, but fun to catch none the less. I played with the color a bit, to bring out what I was actually seeing. Old school CNBG. 1.01#  New School CNBG. 1.34#  A couple of healthy ones.   This is Lemmy. We just got Americana chicks for the first time, and Lemmy is mine. It's impossible to keep him locked up, and he prefers mustard greens to butter crunch lettuce. He and I are gonna get along just fine, because he is the ace of spades. That is until the hawks eat him.

Boy, looking good Al. Number two looks like a Richmond Mill fish, but they're all so much healthier looking than my BG with shrunken bellies. Well done...impressive.
Lemmy looks good, but agree his days may be numbered - doesn't look like the smartest of the brood for some reason. Maybe they all look that way.
Are you raising them for eggs or chicks to grow and eventually harvest? I would like to do this someday - when we're out of the city.

Great dynamics on those fish, Al. That second photo is downright beastly. And you've sold me on the sewing accessory also....need to pick one up for myself.
Hi Lemmy. Watch the skies.
