Let's see those photos of gills that it takes two hands to hold (even if they are held close to the camera).

No need to go to a big bluegill site. I am guessing guys on the site have caught more than either share this summer.

Below is one from last weekend.

Keep 'em coming. I print the pictures and fry them up.
They are a bit on the thin side though. :rotflmao

Nice fish Steve,

What were the stats on that biggun? Are we gonna see some nice ones this year Tiny from that lake? There were some bigguns last ice season but fewer than 2008-2009.

Took two gills like those and did a mount with one facing each way. Great idea, a lousy taxidermy job. Won't say who, just some guy out his basement. BTW very nice feeesh. I have a local pond that produces gills like that, not all day long but regular enough to keep me comming back. Last one was 11". When you hook em, you know its something special. I let em all go except for the two on the wall.

willow slough in indiana has some of the biggest shell craker gills i've ever seen. 11" to 13" are realistic with 10" common and they give out bath towels to.! :bigyuck

If you look close in Ryan's picture, you can see my boat in the background (getting skunked). :rotflmao

Ok, now I gotta ask... A Coppernose Gill is different than a Georgia Giant, yes? I'm so confused. :crazy
