Thanks Don. It sure was fun. Big bull gills are so fun. It was really crazy to see the two species in such close proximity to each other, and yet so far apart. It was literally just a matter of a foot or two one side or the other of a stump or lily pad that would determine whether it was going to be a crappie or bluegill. And even crazier, was that the big female gills, still full of eggs, were no where near the stumps, but were instead holding 12 inches under the first small groups of lilies off shore as long as those lilies were in at least 3 feet of water and no more than 6 feet of water.
