Great morning as my father, nephew and I found a huge bed of coppernose gills, and it was on after that. We caught our 90 fish limit by 8:00. The full moon is right around the corner!

My son and I love Bluegill and Redear equally... but there is something about those big Coppernose... The colors around the gill plate and throat are so iridescent... I think they are one of the prettiest fish there is... They get quite large at the lake I fish... Nice to aboard.
