While once again risking exposing my true ignorance about catching, cleaning and eating fish, are you fellers willin to help me speed through the learning curve? My experience from many years ago revolved around fileting bass abd perch. Never cleaned a bluegill - is cleaning it about the same? I used to think a 5 or 6" bluegill was fairly large. But if still tender 8 or 9" sounds like less work to a full belly.
I ahd read in the paper we had some SMB gangs terrorizing local farm ponds on motorcycles but I always thought those things happened to other people. Especially if they didn't practice good farm pond management. Hurts when it is close to home. I am leaning strongly towards SMB, YP and HSB once my system will support them.


2/3 acre pond 12 miles from that big pond we call Lake Erie.
