Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Caught this bluegill from Nimisila Lake in NE Ohio. It was 12 1/8" long and 2 pounds 2 ounces. This is a fiberglass replica, the original was released in my dad's private 2 acre lake. I've seen it a few times since, when I've been over there. Not bad for an Ohio fish. Came on a weighted black ant tipped with a spike in April.

Great fish Joel you just made a mistake and told where you got it. I suspect I'm an hour and a half away but not to worry I fish Michigan 90 percent of the time. Actually I didn't think we had that quality of fish in Ohio other than farm Ponds and Lake La Sue Ann. Congrats on a nice fish buddy. I did send you a friend request if your interested.
