Thanks, Rambler. We can only hope. I caught six bluegill that weighed a pound apiece in a one-month period in May 1987 from a 40-acre lake, New Lake, just outside Lewisburg, and heard stories of two-pounders having been caught recently before that. The lake is managed by TWRA, and has no limit on bluegill, and literally a year after I caught the giants, it was over. The same thing happened with another TWRA lake, 46-acre Shellcracker Lake in Williamsport, in 2009 - I didn't catch any pounders, but did catch several close to that, and a year later it was all over. In both instances I heard anglers brag about hauling out boatloads of big bluegill. It's really unconscionable considering how many millions more people there are today who fish public water than there were forty years ago when catch-and-release first starting catching on among bass fishermen.
