Scroll through the pages of this thread. There are pics of some MONSTER bluegill. http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/112221-id-really-like-to-get-a-message-to-fish-chris/?hl=bluegill

It's already been said. The guys here are really knowledgeable and I'm sure they can help you out. You didn't say if you fished or not but if I had some of my dad's old lures, I'd hold on to them.

Hey Big-O, I've rigged them before like your diagram shows but I was wondering what the purpose of trimming off the belly fin is?

Awesome trip man...got some real fatty's there!

I hear ya. 20k is a heck of a fine and you were just trying to do your job. Still feel bad for the raccoon though. Sometimes I can get a little hippy-ish when it comes to animals.

The impression that I got was either a rig similar to a Beetle Spin (http://www.basspro.com/Johnson-Original-Beetle-Spin/product/15602/?cmCat=CROSSSELL_PRODUCT) or maybe just attaching a swivel/blade to the hook eye with a split ring. Could be wrong though. Maybe the op will post a pic.

There's a farm by one of the lakes I frequent that has a peacock. The first time I heard it, I could have sworn someone was in trouble and calling for help. I'm used to it now but its definitely a strange sound if you've never heard it before.

Pretty cool...gotta love those bonus fish!

You know your on em when your holding up 4 fish in each picture...WTG!

Good looking fish!

That's a biggun...nice fish!

Welcome!

If you mess up a cast, fish it like you meant to do it. There's been quite a few times where I made an off target cast or clipped something while casting and didn't get much distance or after pulling myself out a tree and still gotten bit on the retrieve. So even if you blow a cast, fish it like you mean it.

I would have kept going but still waved at them.

My brother has 2 ball pythons in the 2.5-3 foot range. A few years ago one managed to push the lid off the tank open and escaped. We didn't see it for weeks. Then one night I got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. Flipped on the light and the nearly jumped out of my skin. The snake was stretched across the toilet and had its head and neck reared up at me. I've handled the snake tons of times so I wasn't afraid of it or anything. Just startled the heck outta me. Not something you expect to see at 4 in the morning when your half asleep. I picked it up, put it back in the tank and found something heavy to sit on the lid this time. At the house I live in now, we have snakes in the attack. Whenever we go up there we always find new snake skins. Never see the actual snakes though. The majority of it has floorboards but there's a small section on either side where the insulation is exposed. We think that's where the snakes are hiding out.

Hmm...I may give this a try. I've got a couple broken spinnerbaits lying around. Couldn't hurt, right?

For me I'd say a squarebill or spinnerbait. Also maybe try a weightless worm/lizard.

Got some nice one's there...welcome to BR!
