Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Caught this fish on a pink and white hair jig and using a float to aide my presentation. Often when fishermen think bobber or float, we think of fishing live bait. Well floats can be a highly effective way to present artificial lures and jigs as well. I prefer to use a weighted needle nose float. The shape along with small weight allows the fish to pull it under with little effort.

Thanks David!  And John this ws not one Jim's jigs.  But the crappie on the stringer hit on brown jig gave me!  I'll put up a photo of them soon.
