Pond Boss Forums Thread Like Summary - Failure at Growing Giant Bluegills

About 20 Inches long, weighed 5 lbs 15 oz. Caught on 1" worth of nightcrawler on a 1/32 oz jighead (a la Bruce Condello) on my light weight spinning rig - with 4 pound test line. It was a fun fight!

No, (she) went back in. My LMB population has been rather low (hence that fat catch; there's a ton of small to 9" BG in the pond), and I want as much spawning as possible. I added 100 fingerlings last year (after a fishkill) and have 25 juveniles ordered for delivery sometime soon.
