Here's a few pictures I took from my Grand Rapids trip. It was very cold and post frontal with HP dominating thursday, friday, and saturday, making for some tough fishing.

This first bluegill measured 10.5". A few other gills very close to the 10" mark. I caught some slab crappies too, although they weren't stacked up.

The LA Atomic Stealth jig with red Gulp! waxie combo was working best for me. Andy was doing well on the Fiska's balance jig with spikes loaded on both ends.

Here's that 10.5" gill. I wish I would have taken the time to get more pictures because the ones I took don't really capture the essence of it's size. Not a bad picture though.

Nice gills, chuckwagon. While out with the f i l today I got an extremly fat 9 3/4 incher with simalar color. Darn near purple. I've caught few fish worthy of mounting but this fella really has some nice coloring and is taxidermist bound.

Hey calvinist, you weren't on a lake that starts with a "g", were ya?

I know what lake you're talking about, but it wasn't that lake. I have caught a 10.5" gill out of that "g" lake too.

Just curious where you live in Plymouth. I live in Plymouth too. Maybe we could team up sometime and do some fishing.
