Blue Gill on Steroids
Uploaded: January 20, 2013
This is for my Buddy Jim Baines
More from the indoor tank at the Burt Reynolds Loxahatchee River Center.
This should make you WEEP !! It's about the size of a DINER PLATE and PLUMP as a Pan Fish can possibly get. Now the kicker is there were half a dozen like this in the Tank . They've been working about 6 years to achieve this size. There used to be some GREAT BLACK CRAPPIE but I heard a visiting fisherman lost cantrol and netted them for himself when no one was looking ;O)
Happy Football my friends

Nice capture! Nothing better than bluegill or crappie fillets. PS - toured the processing plant from top to bottom a couple of years ago. Closed last year as they we working on the bottom seven stories. #10524175Robert R. Goodman January 20, 2013

Ounce for ounce the best fighting fish there is and they make for one delicious meal. You did an incredible job with the colors and details the fish offers, especially shooting through glass. Outstanding work Jack. #10525544Kevin P. Kreischer January 21, 2013
Nice capture Jack, did you happen to know that Fisherman? #10525597Jeffrey R. Bange January 21, 2013
Great capture Jack especially shooting through the glass. Have you ever eaten one, if so do they taste similar to any other fish that you have had. #10526781Emile Abbott March 12, 2013
