Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

083114- Earl and I caught many gills up to 8.8" on drop shot. Most were hanging out deep in about 20 plus feet of water with drop shot and crawlers. We went through are crawlers pretty quickly with many fish being caught. So I switched to 1" chartreuse gulp minnow on the drop shot. The gulp were out producing the crawlers! This was the first time using gulp panfishing on the drop shot.
