We had our fish fry at the neighborhood pond yesterday, and it was fairly successful. We wanted to remove (100) large adult bluegill, but only ended up with approx. (50) that we harvested, cleaned, cooked and ate. We used an approx. 8" length and over for keepers.
We probably caught another 100 bluegill that were under the size limit.
I was also surprised to see several LMB caught as well as a large channel cat and a large blue cat.
Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:" "She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
