Big Gills..but not big enough
Our last tournament on August 4th had my partner and I hunting for bull bluegill. This particular lake has been Dubbed the name "Death Valley" over it's real name Rose Valley, because it has a love hate relationship with so many anglers. During pre-fishing we got into some real nive gills and not so great crappie and perch. On tournament day we figured we'd focus on these gills with big shoulders, and boated a 7 pound limit of 12 fish. smallest ones weigh in at a half pound and the biggest ones at 3/4 lb. Nothing to sneeze at. Well we got an eye openr at the weigh in scales. Guys brought in huge crappies with the biggest be 1.62 lb and another team bringing big perch in with the biggest weighing 1.36 lb. and they took 1st place with 9.09 lbs and the team with big crappie was short one fish but still weighed 8.90 lbs. That being said..there is still bigger bluegills in this lake over a pound..just need to find them on the good days of fishing this lake.
