Fifth Graders had fun fishing. |

Green sunfish are fun to catch. |
 |

Bluegill are found in more locations of Alabama than any other fish. They are also the largest sunfish species. |

Students learn a lot for themselves when given an opportunity to learn hands-on. |

Bluegill have lots of colors on their skin.
|

Catching fish of any size is fun. |

Catching a green sunfish can bring a big smile. |

The help of parents was greatly appreciated. |

Good job, guys, a double. |

The Principal of Legacy Elementary School made the most of her time by interacting with her students. |

Keith Trawick spent a lot of time organizing the event. It was well worthwhile.

|

This bluegill with its more pastel colors is probably a female.
|

This bluegill with its coppery color is probably a male.
|

Bluegill eat insects, worms and algae. |

Green sunfish will eat most anything. |

A largemouth bass was caught at the beginning of the day and at the end of the day. |

Some students learned to hold the fish without getting stuck by the spines. |

Some of the faculty thought students should not be the only ones to have fun. |
 |

Thanks, Larry for your help. Good luck in the Collegiant Regional Tournament on May 20 and 21, 2011. |
