Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Thought it was a rumor ,there ARE Smallmouths in Way Way ! Been fishing this windy, tough but beautiful lake since the mid 80's and never caught a Smallie . This fish grabbed a Norman crank that I snagged and lost later in the day .Water temp was around 52.Trolling into the South West Wind .
