Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Hi new here to the bluegill forum. Im from Bourbon Indiana. Love to fish for gills, crappies, and perch. Used to fish alot for bass but dont even target them anymore, panfish are far better eating. I love to fish open water and ice fish. Ive got a 18.5 ft Skeeter deep v and a small 10' jon boat which I just recently purchased. I fish mainly smaller lakes, bigger lakes got to many weekend warriors that really get me upset and make fishing a pain because they have no respect for fisherman and ive noticed its much worse now.

I have never caught any monsters like some of the pics on here but would love to catch something like that, I ussually catch 8 to 12"ers perfect for the tastey meals.

Looking forward to learning and maybe adding some to posts.

So far forum looks fantastic, glad I found it.
