Sure could have had one on, but no way would it have fit through the hole. She was taking bluegills ice fishermen were releasing, and once retrieving, over a crib on one of the little bunny lakes I fish. There were three fish there, one probably a 4 footer and one a little shorter than this big girl.

Not the time to have your "Blue Gill" camera head on... Ever had one of your cameras get hit? My buddy had his crappie looking camera hit by either a pike or a musky. Only saw it for a second and he was not recording.

I haven't caught any either, but I have seen three of them in two days on my new underwater camera. All three have been around cribs. We're pretty sure this one ate a bluegill we released. Didn't catch many when this fish was around, they pretty much hide in the cribs when a musky moves in. The picture isn't the best quality since we used a digital camera to take a picture of the monitor, but you get an idea of the fish.

Ron, the lake I'm fishing has several cribs placed in the lake by the DNR and the local high school conservation group. I find the cribs in the summer, mark them on my GPS, and drill holes over them in the winter (fish them in the summer too actually).
