I just don't get you old bald guys (in the generic sense, not you specifically). My dad would rather catch 6 or 7 inch perch all day than go fish for bass or pike or any fish of substance. I don't keep fish, I don't clean fish, I don't eat fish. I fish for entertainment. I fish for the fight. Bluegill fight very hard for their size, but there's no way any bluegill could ever fight like a 5 lb. bass/pike/muskie/wiper/catfish, etc. Crappie suck, I just don't like them.
But I'm glad you guys are happy chasing after minnows.
Plus, bass are just much more user friendly since you can lip them...no gettin' spined by perch gills or bluegill fins.
