Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Went fishing yesterday for the first time in 10 days.Weather had dropped down to the 60's at night and high of 82. Perfect for the gills to move into the shallows. Little worried about the moon phase but it was 3% less than full. Gorgeous day! Started out with my flyrod for 45 minutes and caught a 3in. I was starting to get discouraged but I always have a backup plan;Worms! Ended up using the whole box. My goal for the trip was to catch 10 to fifteen for the skillet and to catch and release a 10 incher. Around 1:00 the big gills moved in and every time I had a nice one , it swallowed the hook, so I kept it. I had one worm left and I was ready to head out.Well guess what! I caught that beautiful bull and released him. I'm not a lucky person so I can only attribute this to the Great Spirit, The Fish God, or whomever you believe in. A beautiful ending to a perfect day!

PS I was fishing at Chain O Lakes State Park and if any of you live close, give me a call.
