I think that could be part of the explanation. On other sites I have offered my opinion that in order to catch big bluegills, you first need to fish in water that contains big bluegills....certainly all BOW do not harbor such fish. Secondly, you need to fish unpressured, unwary, and unconditioned fish. Those are usually much easier to catch.
Still, with the number of folks here at PB who are actively engaged in managing their ponds, coupled with the years that have passed since the "How to grow big bluegills" formula was introduced, shouldn't we start seeing numbers of these fish being caught? I have high hopes that George and AL will shortly begin posting photos of some giants (2lb + ??) Certainly their efforts thus far are very encouraging.
I wonder what percentage of a certain year class of bluegills might be expected to make it to 2 lbs, or even 1.5 lbs, given the type of ideal conditions promoted by the pondmeisters here at PB?
