my son is an avid fisherman last summer he was fishing a local farm pond
here in the beautiful NC mtns and was fishing for bass usine live nite
crawlers he had caught several lg mouth bass but none of any size then
he moved to a corner of the pond n started catching good sized blue gill
after several ish he locked into something that was bigger than anything
he had caught all mornig
when he landed it the fish was a large blue gill that weighed just
under 2 lbs it was 12.5 inches long and was about as round as a dinner
plate he put it on a chain stringer the kind with the big snap clips on
it to keep it alive he was wanting to have me come to the pond n take a
look n several pictures of it , unfornatuly it died on the string i
guess the stress of being caught so we brought it home n i got it
mounted for him its a nice fish n he is very proud if it i no there is
much bigger blue gill around but it was a nice fish for this area
