Do you love big bluegill?

Took the dressed double hook 5 of Diamonds Dardevle that Carl Hendrix modified .Called this Pickerel up in a 5- 10' area over the weed tops in the NE/E where the wind was coming from. I only managed landing a small Bass on a 3.5" Mojo Reefer vertical jigged at 10', and this Pickerel .The large Pickerel lost at the boat bit through the line at the bottom Easy shiner of an 8# test tandem rig. UGGHHH! I really have to work this getting bit off with swim baits problem I'm having quite often.
Here's my next move to figure out how to hold them on the line and land them ; Fireline 10# ,4 # diameter test leaders.

This is the time of year as well as early spring I am most inclined to use spoons ,Slip .Classic indeed . Thanks again Carl for this spoon .I can tell you that Pickerel wanted it! Dick , i love those Pickerel but get frustrated with the bite offs . They are the toughest fish to land ,making them a great challenge !
