      amen the day I was borne by my mom she was ice fishing. She went into labor on the ice on 1-11-60. Everyone said they caught me out of a fishing hole on the ice.

    Got my friend to come with me and he caught the big one.... 20.5" / 4#14oz. Was hoping to break the 5# mark, but we got close!

    4 lb. 14 oz. 20 in. Largemouth Bass with a Live Bluegill

    1. Robert Coleman 0
      Yes! Keeps them from burrowing intothe weeds.

      One more question, do you use a bobber or no?
    3. Matt Palmisano 0
      Cool! Thank you for the tip!

      To Matt: To Jessie: 4/0 Kahle hook. Hook bluegill on top in front of tail behind dorsal fin. (*Learned from Capt. Morris Campbell) :)

      Pig! Love it! Going bass fishing tomorrow and try to get into some nice ones’
    6. Matt Palmisano 0
      Out of curiosity because I would really like to try this sometime, where do you hook the bluegill when you use it as bait. I have used minnows before and I typically ...more hook them through the lips.

    Ok, to everyone down South, this is normal. But in IOWA, not so much!!!!! Nephew was getting off of the river from flathead fishing at 1:30am and this guy was ...more sitting by the boat ramp when they were pulling the boat out. He jumped out and snapped a couple of pics and a short video. His commentary for the video was, "An armadillo in Iowa City! " Which he said about 5 times, Lol. But I suppose I would've said the same. Just plain crazy around here. Soooooooo, does anyone out there in Fishidy land have any idea how this little guy made it all the way North to IOWA?????

      we probably have 3 or 4 within a couple of miles of my driveway. but a couple are more than likely roadkill. maybe the heat here is causing them to migrate..lol

      I would say he must have hitch hiked on a truck or train.I don't think they can survive the Iowa winter. We do have several sightings a year here in Kansas, ...more but I have never seen one.

      He got lost from down here in Texas! I bet he climbed on a train and got shipped north! LOL Most of the ones you see here are upside down along the road. They are ...more blind as a bat and not near as agile.

    I finally convinced my nephew to get out for a few hours this morning and take a break from his remodel. He hooked a couple bass that jumped and spit the hook. ...more 10 minutes before leaving this guy hammered the gill and took off for the other end of the pond!

    Didn't get out fishing till after an appt this morning. After catching a few crappies, 11" / 11oz, finally got a few gills for bait. This little guy, 19.5" ...more / 3#9oz, didn't even get the hook in him. The top fin of the bluegill was stuck in the side of his mouth! Got to reuse the bluegill for another fish! 👍
