Bluegill - Big Bluegill

YES that is a empty hand in one.. He flipped out right as I was about to snap the picture! lol.. I had a great time was beautiful weather no wind and had the place to my self.. I had a 12" + crappie on and he got off just as I was about to lift him out..! Everything I caught was on hotdog pieces even the bass and the get away crappie..lol counting the ones that got away from my hands before I could get a pictures snapped i caught over 50 fish.. so was a good birthday in my book!
