I brought home 15 like the one pictured. Some were a touch longer than this one but he had good shoulders on him. I don't fish for gills much so I don't know how big they get in Priest. I've only lived here 5 years and never really fished seriously for them.  |
Not being uncalm....if that is a word...LOL. If there were 10 inch Gills in JPP I was going to get up there and fish. That Gill in your pic is a fine fish....big black Bull Gill. I would stay on them all day if I had found them...to heck with the smallmouth. Eight inch is a good Gill all day long. What makes that one very good is his girth...and he is starting to get that "Helmet Head"....and that Gill has great genes. I am taking a lure designer to Dale Hollow tomorrow to fish for Smallies...but....if I get on Gills like in your pic..or better....well there won't be any Smallies caught. He will just have to live with it...LOL.
