I'm trying to do better about my handling, so I kept this bad boy in the water for the photo. You can see the breast starting to brighten and the purple hue setting in. I think this means he's a bull.
I've mentioned the bass fry at Carter Lake a couple of times. They stocked it fresh last year with different sizes. The largest I've caught in there was about 11 inches. This guy was maybe 3 inches. 4 tops. Loved him some tiny soft hackle, though.
Puts me at a Rainbow, a gill and one tiny LMB for the year so far!
Stop over to Bill Trussels site (Fishing through life). He's the Blue Gill expert. He can tell you whether it's a boy or girl.
