Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Finally got the boat done, got out on the lake and found some decent sized gills, we caught about 20 blue gills and a few small mouth and large mouth bass and a 24" Tiger Musky,and 2 brook trout. We kept 5 bluegills for lunch, here are some of them, the largest is 9 1/2 inches, the largest this year.
