    Default The elusive pink bluegill.


    Caught this guy and about 15 small crappie on the cadron today. A few Black crappie had what looked like the black calcium spots, The white crappie were yellowish and the bluegill were pink.

    Going to the eye doctor tomorrow.

    I've seen them with some pink on them but not like that. Wonder what they've put in that lake. LOL.

    Looks like he swallowed that hook good. I don't care what they look like as long as they're big enough to eat. LOL Thanks for the picture and the report.
