Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

New member, wanted to post some catches of FL gills I have caught since moving down from SC with the Navy. I dont keep them like this everytime, I keep a few limits a year and thats about it. If im going to clean them, I mind as well clean a couple limits worth with buddies. Hope yall enjoy.

Excellent looking gills. Welcome to the family. As Carl said, plenty of ex-naval and ex-military armed brothers and sisters here. Of course, quite a a few of us having lots of other ex-es as well..LOL

Thanks, I live in Fl now but I cant wait to be out in about a year and get back to good ole SC......I may not catch as many copperhaeds but those Santee Copper Shellcracker are calling my name!
