Do you love big bluegill?

I know this isnt a big bluegill but I have been on a new quest, one for a potential record Jack fish, this one was 5 lbs and is my biggest so far!

Local pickerel in here go for native golden shiners as a preferred forage. Gold Mepps spinners or gawdy, bronze or gold hairjigs get em.

Great fish , Kelly! Beautiful markings! Marylands Eastern Shore and Delaware annually produce 7 pounders, but I haven't ever heard of an eight. I like 'big snakes', as we call them. Boy, they sure can wreck a spinnerbait!
