Do you love big bluegill?

This BEAST got to close to a Rapala! I may have brought the fish up on the boat but please believe it whooped my tale like I stole something! It took 20 minutes of holding on for dear life and following the fish around in boat to finally catch it! It measured 32 inches in length.

Now you know what it's like to catch a REAL gamefish! Great catch, my friend!

It got snagged by one hook in the tail.  I have no idea how that one hook held on for 20 minutes at the rate this fish was pulling?

Thats right, a Rapala. Did it actually take the lure, or get snagged somehow?

The funny thing was at first I thought I had a world record Largemouth! LOL

I was in about 13 feet of water Dave and the fish came up to close to a moving crankbait!
