BIG BLUEGILL

JUST A GAG PIC TO MESS WITH A FRIEND

A NICE BLUE GILL

I  USE  A6 1/2 FOOT BERKLY MEDIUM LIGHT ROD AND  ZEBCO REELS SPOOLED WITH 10 # TRILENE LINE

A REALLY NICE BLUEGILL

I USE REDWORMS,BEMOTH OR MEAL WORMS TO CATCH THESE RASCALS

COHO ANY ONE

WE CAUGHT THESE ON EASTER SUNDAY 1986 WE WERE COVERED IN ICE FROM THE MOIST AIR

THESE ARE FUN TO CATCH BUT SOMETIMES YOU DONT EVEN KNOW THEY ARE ON BECAUSE THEY WON,T TRIP THE DOWN RIGGERS .BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO HAVE THEM SET FOR KINGS ALSO

I  USE THE SAME RIG FOR CRAPPIE THAT  I DO FOR BLUE GILL ON TO  THE 10 # LINE I TIE A SWIVEL AND THEN TIE MY HOOKS UP WITH 6# LINE

YEA ANOTHER GAG BUT I SURE HAD FUN WITH THOSE PICTURES

A COUPLE NICE FARM POND CATFISH THE OWNER THOUGHT THE CATS WERE MAKING HIS POND MUDDY NO ONE COULD CATCH THEM WELL I JUST GOT SOME LIVER AND PUT IT ON TOP OF THE GARAGE FOR A FEW DAYS THEN SET A TROT LINE AND WENT BACK THE NEXT DAY AND GOT THEM BUT IS WAS NOT THE FISH  LOL HE HAD A POND FULL OF WORMS

THESE ARE FOR  REAL NO GAG HERE THAT IS A N ICE CREAM BUCKET NICE HUH

MY FIRST KING

NOW THERE IS A PAIR OF NICE CRAPPIE I USUALLY USE MINNOWS TO CATCH THEM RASCALS BUT  I HAVE A LITTLE GREEN SKIRTED JIG THAT I USE WITH A WEIGHTED BOBBER JUST THROW IT OUT AND LEAVE IT SET OR REEL IT IN AS SLOW AS YOU CAN

I FILLET THEM ALL I USE AN ELECTRIC  FILLET KNIFE AND TWO BUCKETS OF WATER FIRST I CUT ALL THE FILLETS OFF THEN PUT THEM IN ONE BUCKET NEXT GO BACK AND CUT THE RIB CAGES OUT AND PUT THEM IN FRESH WATER THAT WAY THEY ARE CLEAN WHEN I GO IN THE HOUSE AND I SOAK THEM IN SALT WATER OVER NIGHT
