Sounds like we have fished some of the same waters for panfish.I live in Wyandotte and like to fish the canals and backwater areas of lks.Erie , St. Clair and the Detroit river. I used to fish out on the Portage lake Huron river chain , the…"

Profile Information
- Largest bluegill ever caught?
- 11 1/4" 24oz. Grayling area. Largest Shellcracker was 11 1/2"from Duck Lake and was released.
- Favorite place to catch bluegill?
- Houghton Lake and Hurron River chain of lakes in Michigan. Also some lakes in the Grayling area in northern Michigan that produce some dandy gills. One is a designated trout lake and the other is owned by the state of Michigan, catch and release only, artificial lures only and only open June-August. Lots of effort to fish this lake but well worth it. Gills run from 7-11+" Large Mouth Bass range from 14-20" and some of the bigest Pumkinseeds I have ever seen. A buddy of mine Ralph caught a Pumpkinseed a few years back that must have went 11" and that is huge for a Seed, will try to find pic of it and post soon.
- Do you have a pond? If so, describe it.
- No but my buddy Mark does and he has raised some very nice Bluegills and Large Mouth. Mark is the friend of mine that caught Bubba The Big Boy.

- Randy,
Sounds like we have fished some of the same waters for panfish.I live in Wyandotte and like to fish the canals and backwater areas of lks.Erie , St. Clair and the Detroit river. I used to fish out on the Portage lake Huron river chain , the traffic on the road is as bad as the boat traffic on the lake

- Hey Randy...nice bunch of pictures, man! And some superfine taxidermy work to boot. Do you do replicas or skin mounts? Like you. I too am finding that some big bluegill water is often small, public lakes or community owned ponds that are very much overlooked by the mainstream, yet have some magnum weight gills in them. See ya Jim

- I considered Ed a good friend and used to buy all my tackle way back when he had his bait shop in the garage in front of his house. If I recall Ed had one of your stringers of fish in his shop.
Anyway I always liked Ed and wonder what he is doing now. Last I heard he was divorced and lost the shop.
