Man that bays got some size to it too.
Nice!
I couldnt catch squat all weekend. Squat worth bragging about anyway.

[nastygunz]

I didn't catch many but the ones I got were bigguns!

Cool looking fish.  Wonder why they chose blue .

[Dave]

Love catching the big ones!  They fight like hell.

[nastygunz]

Yessir, they are a strong fish!  They look pretty cool in an aquarium too.

Wow!  those are niiiice bluegills!  You have my admiration-- and my envy!

I have not fished for bluegills in 30-40 years and simply MUST try to catch some on a fly rod and popper before I kick the bucket.  I caught a few by chance 3 years ago when fishing for smallmouth bass in Oklahoma. 

In June I hope to fish shad in the Columbia River with my BIL, and maybe can find a bluegill bay or pond in E. Washington.  There were fabulous crappie and bluegill side ponds and lagoons off the Columbia/Snake River junction when I was growing up in that area but I'm told that all of those have filled with weeds and totally silted in.

Fly rods and blue gills go together like PB&J!  Another fish that is a lot of fun and will literally hit anything is what we call a rock bass!

[Okanagan]

Pretty fish! I don't think I've ever seen a rock bass.

Rock bass on 4lb test is an afternoon of fun.


Here's a pic of my fishung buddy Kenny and about an hours worth of goofing around.
