Do you love big bluegill?
Another Aaron Matos massive 'gill.
We found some terrific bluegill in Aaron Matos' pond. This is a good example of a fish that exceeded 1.5 pounds.

Hey Bruce, did you happen to get a length on that fish? It's a high-rise, wide fish that I guess was from 11 to 11 1/2 inches long, no more.

So Bruce -This fish I (see attached photo) was po'd at me for catching him and /or fending off nest egg stealers?Maybe actually pissed off at my lure! ...I'll have to try the bucket experiment but would suggest it would try to take on the color of the bucket as a protective coloration disguise.

You're exactly right, John. That fish is p.o.'d. :-)
When you handle fish--especially breeding phase males, they will get upset and their pigmentation dramatically increases. They also respond to the holding tank in regards to the water clarity, and color or brightness of the surrounding walls.
Try an experiment sometime. Take two spawning males caught off of the beds, and put one in a five gallon white bucket, and the other in a five gallon black bucket and report back to me what happens to the color of the fish.

EXCELLENT!!! Why is it so black?...sometimes I see that in fish except not so exagerated..I've heard aggression makes them Black ...or is it their expression of intimidation ...what is that excessive blackness about?
