I looked that lake up. Sounds real interesting.Gonna do more reading on it and see exactly where it is located!Hope you wear them out Sammy!Watch out for them dang water skiers!http://www.mdwfp.com/media/54730/kemper_county_lake.pdf
One of the main springs that feeds this lake starts on our family land, it is an awesome lake but its different to say the least. Completely spring fed other than what rainfall run off there is, no river or no long running creeks feeding it with Little Minnow being the longest which heads up on our place about a mile and half away. Lots of springs under water now, havent seen it muddy but one time since it opened close to 30 years ago.Quote:

Some time right at the boat!I was surprised that they hit that color jig. I normally use natural colors. I think the full moon had them turned on.Every cow from here to there was standing with their head to the ground.Quote:

I do know it pulled like a truck in 9 fow. One more week of good hot weather and they will be ready. This is a late lake on the bream.
Did it have a big mouth like a goggle eyes
that one of those copper noses?
Male bluegill is what it looks like.
Bet it is gonna be some of them "guberment brim" the ole man spoke of. My grandfather had a pond built in the late 50s that the over flow runs into where Little Minnow creek starts. Those brim were stocked in that pond and I have never caught any like them anywhere else.
No John it had a small mouth just like a blue.Quote:

Gubment bream a hybrid? Buddy of mine put hybrids in his lake a long time ago and people he bought them from said the first generation would grow to 5 lbs and the next would be smaller and the next smaller. He said they never saw anything close to 5 lbs but he has caught a lot over 2 lbs. I caught one 1.75 last year out there and it was the biggest one I have ever seen. They look similar to your fish but a little lighter in color. That's what makes me think u caught a male fish doing his thing. I also thought a hybrid fish did not reproduce until I heard my friend telling me about these bream. Who knows, someone may have sold him a bunch of bluegill.
It might be Mike, I have heard of them but dont know for sure that I ever caught one.Quote:

That makes lots of sense, all fish change during spawning time. Kemper is a perfect place for copper nose to do well.Quote:
