I missed this question. Actually the photos look later than they were because of the camera's flash. It reflects on the fish so much that it forces the shutter speed way down...consequently looking like night time. Actually the fish were caught at 6:45 and 6:55 p.m. Holding a redear sunfish is like running with scissors.

You must have taken a nap between fish. $\:D$ Beautiful fish.

You forget that occasionally Bruce sleeps. Occasionally Bruce works as a dentist. Occasionally Bruce manages other peoples ponds. Occasionally Bruce posts on Pond Boss and Humongous Blue Gill Dot Com. Also factor in time to eat, drive time, etc, etc. I saw Bruce fish at Lusks and I think he averaged more like a fish every 4 minutes 27 seconds. It would have been faster but he was teaching me his sure fire BG catching technique and removing fish for JWHAP at the same time.

Or maybe that's bail bonds men, I forget.
