Honestly, I don't know the answer to this question. I always just assumed that it was the males doing the pee-ing, but I'm not sure. Perhaps we can start a www.pondboss.com conversation and coax Mr. Cody into an answer on there.

Some of the best bluegill fishing I've had in the last two months was using the "Musky Mod" methodology of spooning! Thanks, MM!

I've written articles for Pond Boss magazine for years now, and I've never seen any other resource that is in the same ballpark. Bob Lusk is a member of BigBluegill, and has been a big supporter of www.bigbluegill.com. He was the brains and the inspiration behind the Pond Boss magazine, and the

Raising Trophy Bass! Trophy Bass Expert Bob Lusk, speak to us!

Bob Lusk is an expert on raising trophy bass. He is the industry's leading expert on raising trophy bass. Bob, I'd like to extend an open invitation to you to spend a moment or two giving novices like us a primer on what it takes to raise trophy bass in our farm ponds, or in our small lakes. When you're done, I'll try to address how a pond manager can also create a trophy bluegill fishery along with the trophy bass. We know that raising trophy bass can be a complex process, but if you were to

Herman Brothers Pond Management

I just wanted to extend a huge "Thank You" to Herman Brothers Pond Management, and Nate Herman, who is a member of Big Bluegill for their incredible hospitality they extended me this last weekend!



Their operation is absolutely first class, and offers people in the Illinois, and the Midwest a chance to catch a really huge hybrid bluegill.



Take a look at this great fish. We caught several hybrid bluegill in the 1-1 3/4 pound range, and we also caught quite a few le

Red, White and Bluegill by John Dawson of BigBluegill

Every once in a while I just like to kick my feet up, and think about what a great thing it is to live in the United States. Fishing, fireworks, grilling, hanging out with friends...it's all part of the American dream. Thanks to all of you BBG fans out there. This is an awesome site! Happy 4th of July.

Thanks, Bruce! You might not remember, but I got the chance to meet with you briefly at the Pond Boss Conference in Missouri last year. I was an undergraduate student from South Dakota State University at the time, working on a bluegill project under Dave Willis. I have officially migrated south to work on a largemouth bass genetics project in Puerto Rico through Miss. State U.

I enjoy seeing pictures of all the GIANT fish you catch in Pond Boss and online! Hopefully I can get my paws on some of those slobs as well! Take care!

I don't know what happened to my bbg email. I no long get email notifications on my group, comments, etc. Is everyone having this problem, or just me?
I have everything I want to be emailed about checked, and I used to get the emails. Also, I got a new smart phone and have emailed pictures to SharonDian165@bigbluegill.com, but I can't pick them up here. Any instructions?

Ha Ha Bruce- In Weeds Magazine is going through a serious ego problem with its editor and contributors.The in -fighting is getting ridiculous as all persons involved are jealously fighting to be recognized as the worlds foremost weed catching expert.Competitive Bass fishing has never been this bad LOL!

I'm wondering now. If it could have been mixed up with some of my flathead minnows. I last stocked them back in late spring. Sharon to answer your question I released him back to fattin up and catch again. Don't know why my bass hadn't eaten him yet.
