Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Too warm (high 50s here today) to set at home even if it is raining. Took the old "Sport King" bamboo rod with me and managed to catch a bluegill to start the year's adventures.

Thanks Carl!

I was using a pheasant tail nymph tied the traditional way (just copper wire and pheasant tail) to get deep (fishing in 3-4' of water). Didn't take long to catch one, then I headed for the truck to get out of the rain. A sudden decision to give it a try and I didn't have my good rain gear with me.
