Pics of our biggest JewFish! Not allowed to take them out of the water.

They were on the brink of extinction, but have made a huge comeback and are eating up everything! Locals think a tag harvest system will hopefully be coming real soon!

Nice to see you kept your cleaning skills in order and did not have them fillet the fish for you. Next time driving through ATL though you better stop by.

This one was caught by Dave, it was his birthday today. His bluegill was 11-7/8 inches long and very thick! Also I had to run and grab one of the rods before it went through the hole and pulled up this 11-3/8 incher. I tried my absolute best to smile!

It is about 10 acres of 2-3 feet deep water.

It's easier to smile for BG. It's hard to smile for the saltwater fish because your abs are tearing while holding them straight out. Shrimp

None of the original hybrids are still alive and a very small percentage of the bluegills still have a bit of GSF in their bloodlines.

But I find solace in knowing that warm weather is coming soon. It's nice to see everyone doing well.
