Bruce is it realistic to have a two pound bluegill in four years?
In a word....
Not really.

Five years in your neck, and eight years up here, combined with perfect management, great genetics and luck, you can get a true two-pounder.
Some people luck into it, but not many.
I'm just now beginning to appeciate how much great water quality plays into the equation. I actually think that great water quality supercedes genetics when it comes to the two-pound-bluegill hierarchy.
Managment is still number one.
God bless Lusk and all he does. He's educated more people than any one person in the history of pond management.
