RECORD 1947 BLUEGILL? Bob Rorabacher, Whitmore Lake, wouldn't be surprised if this one-pound, nine and one-half-ounce bluegill, which he took on a casting mouse in an unnamed Crawford county lake, might be the state's biggest for this year. The whopper is 12 inches long and 13 inches in circumference. Rorabacher was fishing with Doyle Quigg, Ypsilanti, at midnight, Aug. 23, when he made the catch. The state record for bluegills is two pounds, 10 ounces.

Ice-fishing buddies Rich Loughry and David Schairer angling for pike in Barton Pond, kept warm Monday with a fire and windscreen. The weather won't be ideal for ice fishing in the coming days. Temperatures will move up over freezing to a predicted high of 50 on Thursday. But the end of the week will bring back the cold, with a high Saturday of perhaps 18 degrees.
