Wow this thread took off since last reading.. I would have to say Genetics has to have something to do with growing big fish.. Just look through the thread about Bruces journey making those giants, the proofs in the poodin.. Unless it's all Condello technique'd picture trickery smile .. I know one thing for sure it's a risk I'm wiling to take I already have great bluegill in my pond many, many over a pound quite a few around 1.5lbs and I hope maybe with the intro of CSBG I can hit the 2lb mark before I die then my pond "GOALS" will be complete.. And I will be sad because I'll have to go for 3lbs lol

I believe in catch and release. I catch then release to the grease..

BG. CSBG. LMB. HSB. RES.
