Pulled up over 1,000 bluegill today. These fish are the age-1's that Lusk, Willis, Shorty, Nedoc, Norm, my Dad and I seined up in February. The fish averaged about 4.5 inches, with lots of 5's, 6's and one that was 9 inches!!!!
My biggest shock came when I found these age-1's had pulled off a spawn. There were thousands of bluegill at less than 1 inch to about 1 inch. And that out of a LINED pond with extremely steep slopes and only a little tiny bit of silt stuck to the sides. I guess nature finds a way.
Pictures when I get my computer back someday.
Holding a redear sunfish is like running with scissors.
