Wow! You have good eyes! I dont know what happened to my picture of almost 9 inch bluegill close to Chicago! My fish is dark and almost 9 inch! You are right its coppernose! I used giant redworm! I always use jig with gulp maggots in Florida! I dont know why I took picture of this fish! I always take picture of coppernose at least 10 inch! Sorry!
