Bruce,

I would love to have some of your bluegills but as you elluded to it doesn't sound very practical to Fed Ex them. And driving 22 hours one way is a little much , even if I do have a brand new vehicle to pick them up now (convinced the wife to trade in her Saturn passenger car for a V6 Vue SUV.) ;\)

I do have some fast growing dishpan shaped bluegills I may hold on to and restock into the big pond as broodstock once I refill it. Or I could get bluegills out of a nearby 800 acre lake that grow the largest in the state and use them for broodstock.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
