Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

It's not about bluegill, but I thought this was an interesting account of a large muskie taken on an ultralight rig by someone who was bluegill fishing (I wonder if she had a bluegill on and then the muskie grabbed the 'gill and got hooked?):

Knowing a little about muskie teeth, I'm surprised the line held up through such a long fight (several times around the boat and 4 netting attempts). Incredible fish, in any case!

Incredible.  My favorite part - "Then the reel fell off the pole."
