jludwig, if that's what it comes down to to get monster bluegills I will more than likely just accept what I do get out of it with other management practices and leave the "trophy" title off the table. I don't have the heart to poison the fish I both transplanted and were there on their own that I have enjoyed catching. Not sure if it will get me to my ultimate goal, but I can easily legally relocate about as many bass as are realistic to work on population control, then remove them as necessary. That seems to be a viable option from what I have read hear and much more fitting to my personality than the poison. But thank you for another option to consider.
