I wish....I know your just kidding around Jimmy but ten inch Gills are true trophies.....even 8 and 9 inch Gills are considered trophies in most places. I have several under my belt. Most of them have come from Laurel Hill Lake......some from VFW Lake....and a few from Dale Hollow. If I can get in on the spawning action at Dale Hollow at the right time I could catch a lot of 10 inch fish.....but timing for the Gill bite up there is critical. I here a lot of people say "caught a bunch of 10 inch Gills". But I want to see the fish on the ruler.....not a lot of places have 10 inch Gills....and a 10 inch shell cracker is not the same.....there are plenty of those. I should get a few from the kayak at Laurel Hill this year with the help of the side imaging. Here is a pic of a 10.5 inch Gill out of Laurel Hill....you can tell quite a difference in the 9 inch fish I am catching now at KY Lake. Dale Hollow is full of Gills like in this pick. But I am very happy with the action I am getting at KY Lake right now......nice fish and a lot of them. Any big Gills in that pond you were fishing?
