Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Hey Jim....sorry it took me so long to try out your jigs in the cold water.....this winter has presented some challenging opportunities for sure!

But, I finally did get around to it.....and the photos speak for themselves! I did take the liberty of shortening the tail,  and I fished it plain and tipped with spikes...caight fish both ways, but tipped allowed another chance at the light takes. Would've liked to try em' all, but darkness and plain simple productivity kept the same one tied to my line.... never fear, after the heat wave it's supposed to cool off again, so I'll get back after it.

I was impressed. The action was awesome, especially when you take the water temp into consideration...34 degrees with skim ice this morning.

Thanks again!
