SO…it is with mixed emotions that I show you this Gill. Although it is one of the biggest of the year for me. But the cast before this, I was in the process of lipping a "Scouts Honest" 5 pounder, and it kicked off just as my thumb touched it. A heckuva a fight nonetheless, and a heavy fish on the 7wt glass…but in the end, the fish was the victor.[FONT=tahoma]

Now, back to the Gill. I caught several 1 - to - 1 1/2lb largemouth over the course of the evening. All on the Gurglin Frog. But after this Gill…they just didn’t seem worthy of a pic.

Very nice Blue Gill, especially for your neck of the woods. When I first read your posting, I thought you were stating that you were in the process of landing a five pound Blue Gill, which would have beyond amazing. That said, a five pound bass is still a very nice fish and it certainly is annoying when you get them right to where you can touch them and they get off.
