Largest Brim or as they say in OH Bluegill.

 2013 in August, I was fishing in a private pond ,about an acre. I caught a Brim that was 14 and 1/4 inches long. Camera was at home on charge. This friend let's me and two others fish his pond. He hand feeds these fish, which is a sight to see. the pond has bass and grass carp and brim in it. These fish are so big that they bend a light rod down. He let's 3 of us and his grand kids fish it. He doesn't fish for his pets. All fish are put back in the water as soon as caught. If hooked deep, he asks that the fish hook be left in the fish and not to be removed.

I have been a Brim fisherman all my life since about 5 years old. I grew up in Monticello, Ark.

I have fished most of my life in TX, LA, AR.,  so to me they are Brim. The last 5 years ,I retired to Gahanna,OH. To be close to my son and his kids . Who I am trying to teach how to fish. My son believes you can only catch fish in a lake not a pond.  So, he doesn't want them fishing in a pond. 

I have a 17' Pan Fisher Tracker boat with a 9.9 motor. I sold my 18' tracker Bass boat for the Pan fisher. Runs a little slower,hurt my back real bad 2 years ago. This boat is better , on my back.

I would love to find some more fishing friends and new ponds or lakes to fish. I do fish all the lakes around Columbus OH.

This is a site with loads of information where we can learn and enjoy in what we like doing best, fishing. In this site we have loads of information we can feed off of and share and learn and having a good time doing so.

Feel free to jump in and investigate the site it is loaded with information and above all don't be afraid to participate we are all still in the learning process and improving and honing our skills making us better fishermen/fisherwoman and enjoying it all throughout the process.

What you personally may add my be that little extra something that we can put in our own little bag of tricks something we can use to make us better fisher people ourselves.

We are all about Bluegill, Big Bluegills ( Bluegills, Sunfishes, Red Ears, Brim family) but not to stop there you will read about many different species of fish even some you may not have known even existed in the Bluegill world and forums with many picture to share, but our main goal is catching that ultimate giant Gill so we can meet that special goal and maybe some bragging rights along the way. Its just a good well rounded site with loads of information with good people a family atmosphere who don't mind sharing, we have loads of fun doing so which you will see.

Our Video section that will keep your blood pumping and make you want to be fishing on that special lake or river fishing your heart out. (TAKE A KID AND DADS FISHING) such a great high. Above all we want you to enjoy yourself don't be afraid to share some of your fishing experiences with us we would love to hear about them please don't be afraid to share your exact lakes with me with all GPS coordinates and the exact baits you used it will be our little secret.
