Do you love big bluegill?

I went to a new public lake and it was loaded with these 10-11" fish

Awesome Federico. good to hear that you preserve the big fish, but don't be afraid to keep some smaller ones

AWESOME FISH. AWESOME CATCH & RELEASE. GREAT ADVICE, BUT REMEMBER SIZES ARE RELATIVE. IF 7" TO 8" FISH ARE THE BIGGEST IN THE LAKE, THROW SOME OF THOSE BACK & KEEP SOME SMALLER ONES. A FRIEND FISHES IN CANADA AT RICE LAKE & HAS NEVER THROWN BACK A BIG BLUEGILL. GUESS HOW MANY 10" BLUEGILLS HE HAS CAUGHT. ZERO. I BELIEVE HE CAN BRING BACK 300 GILLS PER TRIP PER PERSON. HE HAS FISHED THERE SEVERAL YEARS & HAS PROBABLY HARVESTED 50,000 BLUEGILLS.

Thanks guys, James I'm an all catch and release fisherman so as far as me the fish don't have to worry

Great Fish Federico......

Man those are nice fish. you should cherish a spot like that if it is loaded, butremember it can be unloaded very easy. all 10 " gills and crackers should be released. keep the ones 8" and under. i have seen it many times. everyone keeps these large fish and it wipes the lake out completely. good fishin federico
