Scott,
I really appreciate you thinking of me. Much appreciated! Why don't you eat though though? They are just as good to eat as bluegills.
Cecil:
They're 2"-3" smaller than the BG that I'm catching.

I have pulled one or two out in the past few years that were 9" long or so. I was suprised at how thick they are at that size compared to same sized BG in that body of water.
On 2nd thought, I just might leave them where they are for a few days and give you a shout if I run into a bucket full of them. If not, then I can return them to the lake or the pond. I've never run across a hyb on that lake betweeen the 2 species.
