So, the grand total, after all that work, was 5 1/2 pounds of pure bluegill meat.

On one hand, that's a bunch of great meals waiting to happen. But considering the amount of time it took getting there one has to question if it was worth it.

Look at this, as just one comparison. On our Outer Banks trip, two Spanish mackeral (which were on the small side for that species) and one triggerfish yielded more meat than all those 'gills.

I had them fileted and packaged in less than 15 minutes.

Amazing comparison.

Yet those tasty little blugill are so good and I am sure you'll enjoy every meal that you have with them!

CAG,

Don't feel so bad, I remember lots of famous loosers.....Hubert Humphrey, then there was, George McGovern, Eugene McCarthy, George Wallace, why heck they even say it took ole' Abe Lincoln a few tries to win! So keep yer chin up, keep pluggin' away and maybe next time you'll win!!!

And look how lucky I got: After 3 tries I got close enough to garner a Big Ole Teddy Bear Hug & Kiss from KYH! Now that 'aint exactly loosin in my book!!!

P.S. And who could ever forget Walter Mondale!?!
