Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

At near by ponds and lakes, flying grasshoppers are still alive and kicking in the tall grasses and I've never used them for bait .Anyone experienced with using them ?They are quite big.

Thinking an eagle Claw Cricket hook is the hook to use. Dont know how long these hoppers will be around .

Grasshoppers are second to none! Light wire hook with a float for casting weight...I wish I could buy grasshoppers for bait, I like them better than crickets....
