big fish, you might even go up to size 2 or larger.


For poppers and for bucketmouths, I'd say 4 or 6 was too small- with
"too small" meaning the bluegill can get 'em in their mouths. I like
to use something big enough that I won't be C&R'ing 10 'gills for
every largemouth. The 'gills are just too fast and aggressive. So I
like size 2.

Except when my kids are fishing. Then something smaller. They don't
seem to mind the "'gill on every cast" thing. :-)


Then again, neither do Stan and Tim.

Hey, Stan! When does the Quabbin open up? I'm ready NOW, 'tho it just might
be a bit chilly on the water today.
