Blue Gill on Steroids

Description

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

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. #10525544

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. #10526781
