What a fish, if I could catch big bluegill like you do on a consistent basis, I wouldn't have to fish the bottom for shellcrackers all the time. Tremendous bluegill Jeff!! Love the body of this fish...future trophy IMO.

Wow. Awesome battle. By the way Jeffrey..you lost a lot of weight in this photo! What's your magic recipe?

I posted on another pic...I actually tied up 25 of these today in prep for the fall, along with some new patterns in the Grass Shrimp line.

Tony...if you would like to test drive them on your hybrids, then give me a PM shout and I'll fix you up.

I agree Tony....Jim had a good imagination on this one.....the fish liked it which is the most important of all.....

That looks a lot like a jig that I would fish also. Big fan of a slender, red tail.
