Lunker Lurking in Gilchrist Blue Springs

Description:

I had the opportunity to prowl Gilchrist on three occasions over two weeks. With all the nooks and crannies, I expected to see plenty, but there were surprisingly few fish to photograph.There's ample structure and food sources, with all the vegetation, fallen and floating trees on the fringes of the spring.
