Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

This is a Sacramento Perch > the "only" species of Sunfish that is native to the Western US. But they have been almost eliminated, because of competion from all of our imported species... LM bass, Bluegill, etc. Caught at a little pond about 5 miles from my house :) Need to go try again for some better shots...

Nice pic! I gather SP are supposedly  a little more common in the Sacramento-San Joaquin delta system, but despite living in that end of the state and usually fishing out that way, I've never seen an SP myself.
