New Personal Best Bluegill Through The Ice
We had a blizzard rolling in yesterday and I got out to jig up some panfish and bass through the ice. We caught Largemouth, Pickerel, Yellow Perch, Crappie, Bluegill, and Pumpkinseed and I extended my streak on bass to 24 consecutive months. Highlight of the day was this 10 3/4" Bluegill that I jigged up out of about 12' of water. It hit a Gitzit Micro Tough Guy tipped with a waxworm. A thrill for me as even 10" Bluegill are not very common in CT.

Wow, what an impressive fish! Anybody would be proud of that! Definitely beats my best through the ice. Looks like an extra-special prize with the bluegill/redbreast genetics. Definitely a feature!
