Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

We were fishing jigs under a float catching quality gills when Dan was met with resistance on hook set....she came completely out of the water and our hearts raced knowing she was on a small Morgan Electric Chicken jig....but it held up and after several trips around the boat we got a net on her........this fish made his trip!

Dan can't join us this summer because of a busy schedule but this fish memory is burned into our minds from last year when this big girl grabbed a Morgan Electric Chicken jig under a float.......................

The bass were loving the Morgan Electric Chicken.......just a few minutes after catching his personal best, Dan landed another solid bass pictured here......went on to catch several more good tourney bass.....
