I guided a guy from Lenoir City (east Tennessee) today. We got rained out in the morning but did pretty decent in the afternoon. The third- and second-best bluegill weighed 1.38 and 1.47 lbs. respectively; the best weighed a little more than that...

Good times and some beautiful fish. Well done.




Hopefully I can get up there this early October!

Sounds good, Banker, I'll be here and the bluegill will be a little bigger!

those are some monsters!

Those are real cowboys!

M O N S T E R S!!!!!!! Great job

I refer to these bluegill as "slobberknockers."

Nice fish!

Wow! What a brim... We used to call them knee brim - they were too big for our hands and you had to hold them between your knees to get the hook out.

Well done...

Goodgodalmighty, those pigs might make a long drive worth it!

Come on over, Highcountry!

That is great stuf right there would love to tackle those with my three wt. flyrod!

All I got to say is that you have some very nice Gills in those ponds. Always enjoy seeing those fish.

Beautiful fish.
