Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Ok I'm in need of a ruling, and I figured what better place to turn than the pro's here at BBG :).

Ok so what counts as caught? I've heard many rules about this over the years such as, it's counts when you get a clear enough view to identify the fish, it counts if you've had it on your line for x amount of time, it counts if you touch the leader, it doesn't count till it touches the bank or it's in your hand, etc. etc. I want to know what y'all count as caught. And yes I am looking for some sort of justification for the fish I hooked but didn't quite get all the way in today lol

Leo I'm sure your wife would not agree with your illusion and if she knew your sport might be short lived.

LOL She actually saw that video segment Dick. She indicated that she would "pretend" to lose all her gears just for my eyes, recorded for the reliving same moment over and over again..who's bad now?! LOL

I can't touch that one. LOL
