Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

I stopped today by a one-acre pond I manage and got to see the owner's son catch this dude with a custom rod I had made recently for him.

Hubba hubba. Big beautify bubba, a beer, and customed gear, at a private pond. What more can  you ask for.

Thanks, guys!  I think brick is an apt description for this fish.

That's a whopper...

What a brick!

Thanks, Dick!  Yes, Jeffrey, it was fun seeing it caught on a rod I made. 

 

I started working with this pond in summer of 2009.  The bluegill averaged about three inches then, so they've improved somewhat.

Great fish Walt and the satisfaction of building the rod that caught this fish.....Daily Double!

Nice Gill, looks like he has some giants.

Comment by Walt Foreman on March 11, 2012 at 3:35pm

Thanks, Tony!  It was easily over a pound - I didn't have a scale but estimated around eighteen ounces, maybe a little more.
