Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Had a fun day today spending about five hours passing along an important tradition with my three little ones. Had been years since I "spun" the reeds for bass and pike on my favorite lake, but decided to take the kids on a spur of the moment. This is just a handful of what we caught and not in ideal conditions as we had wind gusts of 20 mph.! Not only was I surprised by the fact that the bassin' has gotten much better and the number of pike has decreased, but the quality of the fish was incredible! My son and I both broke off on a bass that put any of these to shame, and I also got rolled and broke off by a 20+ pike! All of the kids and myself had a blast and I learned a valueable lesson that some things get better in time as long as people practice CPR.
