Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Went to a local park today and managed to catch 9 bluegills, eight of those would have been keepers if I were keeping any.  All caught on my 12' Tenkara rod on three of  my hand tied sinking flies.  Sat out there a couple hours and enjoyed the breezes and watched the ducks cavort about.
