Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Water temp was 61at 6am and by 3 pm the water temp way at 64 with the outside high temp of 77 degrees with a slight wind which made it hard to stay on these spots at 27 feet deep. Fish were on the deeper side of these humps. Hump went to 13 feet deep and 34 feet on the deep side. It is a long skinney hump 75 feet wide and maybe 700 feet long. Using 1/64th and 1/80th oz custom ties on a double rig. Caught 60 fish today all bluegill and some Bluegill x Redear hybrids hitting red and a few green jigs in the early morning but wanted nothing but green late morning to early afternoon. AAverage fish weighed 1.2lbs and averaged 11 inches in legnth, not very fat right now they look like they're bellys are shrinking since a few weeks ago. No worms, crickets or any live bait used.

you should start putting those 12" gills on a board so we could see the 12" mark would be nice to see
