Do you love big bluegill?

This is a repost of a pic. Lets see if this one shows up on the main page. The Handle on this rod is 11 inches long. Not to shabby for central Illinois.

I don't know how I missed seeing this gill earlier, but it is one of the most colorful ones I have ever seen. The photo of your fly rod in the back ground made it a perfect picture. That is truly a trophy gill in any part of the country.  Way to go kirbear!!!!!!!

Some folks talked about a Fall colored fish.  This is a repost of a fish caught on April 27 2012 at 9.39 in the morning.  The reel is a Cabelas reel I think.

That is a nice fish.

What kind of fly reel is that?

That is incredible! I've never seen a BG with coloration like that before, it's like he's trying to impersonate a salmon :)

Huge fish! Coloration is remarkable! Congrats!

That is one freaking awesome specimen. Coloration is off the chart, and the size is just plain...DANG! Which fly did you manage to hammer it on?
