Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Made up 2 jigs 1/64 oz jellies for me to try in the pond this evening to see how they worked. Tied on a White Pearl cast it out and counted down when I got to 6 it was all over to ride was on. It really took the ultralight rod and reel for a ride. Sorry I got out to late cause it was kinda hard to get a good picture. The striper was 24" I can only guess at the weight. The fish gage it's in is 3' across. What a blast.

Carl I did catch one last year on my fly rod. It was a blast took awhile to get in about a half hour, it was late Oct or early Nov on my 2wt. Your right it don't get any better that that. The picture of that fish is in my photo's.

Thanks Jim. I was definitely surprise and unprepared thought I'd try out a 1/64th oz jelly jig I just tied up on a gill to see how it worked and wow to my surprise.
