Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Hello all,

I have been browsing this forum for a while now so I finally made an account.  Without a doubt my favorite fishing is for bluegill and shell cracker.  I mainly fish the Tennessee side of Lake Barkley.  We had some really strange weather this spring but it turned out to be one of the better fishing springs I've had.  I found a lot more shell cracker beds this year than I normally do. 

I look forward to learning from everyone!

Welcome to the site, Will!

Welcome, Will!
Lake Barkley? We look forward to learning from YOU, man!
Bring on the pics!

Here is one I had on my phone.  I went on a camping trip to Lake Barkley when the gills went on the bed.  This is one of the nicer shells I caught.  This fish was caught on May 16th. 

That's a great looking fish in anybodies book. Thanks for sharing.

Nice fish, Will!  Welcome to the site!

Nice redear......

Good looking cracker!
