Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Who here has caught White Catfish and cares to contribute know how , experience, photos etc ? I have never caught them but would like to find waters nearby that have them .I understand a similar sized Channel Cat has a smaller mouth than the White Catfish . http://www.in-fisherman.com/catfish/white-catfish-locations-and-tac...

Hey Steve and you are from NJ !There's hope for me yet ,gotta get to the right waters .I understand they inhabit the delaware River too . Not sure of the closest water that has them near my home town of Ringwood .I believe Greenwood Lake which is very close .
