Do you love big bluegill?
Hello! Is this a bluegill?
Hi everyone. I live in South GA and fish mostly on Goose Creek which runs into the Altamaha. I catch a lot of them like this, and I always thought they were bluegill. But someone whose knowledge I respect is telling me it's a "flier." So what is this guy?
Thanks-Jennifer Cody

Hi Jennifer, welcome to BBG! Those fish appear to me to be Coppernose Bluegills. Nice ones too!
One of our members, Jeffrey Abney, catches some outstanding Fliers....check these out:http://bigbluegill.com/group/friends-of-the-fliers
