I'm glad you asked. My wife says we have a fish problem. The HSB we have checked were all 20-22" and fat like the one I uploaded. We see them feed on young BG. But there are thousands, perhaps ten's of thousands of BG in there. I have a small well that adds some water year round. I caught some people taking some HSB a few weeks back, unsure how many are left. Pond is small, we started w 100 BG and 26 HSB from Overton's. I wonder if the fresh water has the bluegill over producing.
Can I ask how you caught them? And were the HSB alive or dead?
Perhaps some trail cameras, signage, etc. might help deter future thieving?
