Hey everyone quick update on my wife she is doing better, at this point cancer free!!! Still hurting quite a bit from the aftermath of the chemo but she is doing better thank you all for your thoughts and prayers I appreciate it very much and so does she!! I also included a pic that does not do this Bluegill justice. 2.6 pound BG wow what a pig!! This guys ear tab was almost the size of a quarter!! I may have 3 pound BG by fall we shall see. I hope you all are doing good through all of this Covid mess. We are all fine here.

"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

Great news on Wife and one heckuva fish


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Thanks everyone I appreciate it! My pond is doing well and all is getting better for sure! I caught that BG on a small 1 inch baby artificial minnow white in color on a little 4 foot rod man that was fun!! My Bass seem to be doing ok the ones I catch anyway seem in good health and RW's seem close to right on. I think I have a lot of food for them though as the bite is not as good as I would like it!! LOL. Thanks again to all and I am glad to see everyone is doing ok.
