Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Why do bluegills take the backseat to other sport fish

The name is pretty self explanatory. Why do bluegill take a backseat to other sportfish such as crappie, bass, walleye and pike? Us bluegill anglers dont the benefit of many lures made specifically just for gills or magazines on tactics for gills. Thank God for this site!

I'm new to the site and recently re-introduced to Bluegills by my 12 year old son. I have to say, whatever I am fishing for at the time is my favorite fish. I love catching Walleyes when I'm Walleye fishing and the same goes for 3-5lb Smallmouth or 2lb Crappies and I have just as much fun catching a bunch of 9" Bluegills with my son. I guess I was never one for picking favorites. This site is exactly what I've been looking for though. I've been searching for books and articles specifically for bluegill tecniques and tips, but have been unable to pull the trigger for a $14-16 book of re-hashed information and lo and behold, here is everything I've been looking for.
