Greenedog, from Bell's Bucks and Beards, came over to West Island Saturday morning. We hit the water around 9:15 and Greenie had a hit shortly after we started to move. We fished around with not much luck. He caught a couple of dinky bass. It seems every spot we hit was not producing. Finally I hooked up with what we determined was a bluegill/redear hybrid and it was a horse...



We kept on fishing without much luck, so we went back to the spot we passed earlier and found a few nice bluegill and redear. I had a nice gill at the boat, but it popped off when I pulled it out of the water. Greenedog had a nice redear that got dirty when it flopped in the boat. He dipped it in the water to clean it off and it slipped out of his fingers. I think he said he got it on video. Here are the bluegill and redear...









Here is the BB&B video...

Troy is a good dude! I like his videos. Troy video'd our Wiper Warriors gig last year from my boat, and put together an OUTSTANDING piece!

They do a good job with their videos. Here is the video they made last year after they visited West Island...

Nice. I'd take a few of those anyday.

Very nice... and good eating.

My son and I caught 50 9-10 slabs sunday(kept about 30) and ate them till my esophagus was full!

I was proud of my son for understanding the need to turn some loose for another day. Saw some pics on here this past winter of guys ice fishing and looked like they kept 200 or so. Really disappointing. Bluegills are a resource just like deer. Take what you can use and release the rest for another day
