Matt's Winter Giant

Derrick, most of our bigger gills are caught from small private and public lakes that most people don't even mess with. Matts big gill came from a 1 acre pond a good 5 minutes from the house. I would prospect for 'big bluegill water' first and foremost, then see how big the fish are during the spring spawning period when they are shallow and relatively easy to catch.
