Biggest bluegills I've ever seen in my life came out of Bishop Lake in Northern Wisconsin near the town of Mole Lake. Its a smallish lake, 287 acres, very wild on 3 sides, has a stream with native brook trout flowing into it, and also out, 10 ft. maximum depth. Anyway, the gills we sometimes got here were as big as plates, their width was nearly the same as length, and some of them were very dark. Only got them once/year around spawning time (late June up there), not far from where the…

Tell me why are we using a $7.65 lura to catch a $1.16 per pound fish.

Cost per pound of a pond. Stocking cost, feed, pumps, water treatment and electrical.

The fish I catch and eat comes to $7.45 per pound. No wounder we lie about the weight.

Yep ,that's what was told to my fishing partner by a fly fishing buddy of his. So off we go, figuring there's a lie in here somewhere. We decide to go at 1:00 and lo and behold who's flyfishing with his buddy, the 35 gills a day friend! We fished for 3 hours using every fly and technique we could think of. Ended up with five gills, 1-nine, thirty short of our goal.The guy who told us, and his partner, caught 1. We ran into him at the boat ramp and layed it to him. As it turned out, it was…

Ha i have 18 bass so far this year but im going to get into bluegill soon

One year ago today I completed the 2009 BigBluegill.com video.....It was my most popular video of the year, and received more than 32,000 views.

This years video has just been released....I had thousands of great images to choose from, but only 6 minutes of run time......I Hope you all enjoy this one,.............I had Bluegill Boogieman on my mind.

If you "Google" Big Bluegill, then hit "Images"....

You don't see any pictures of me.....

But you will see this! :-)

The Family of Bluegillboogieman has requested that I thank everyone on Bluegill-Bigbluegill for them. They have been reading the words of love and respect that we have for the Boogieman and have been very touched during this time of sorrow.

A heartwarming testimonial to the greatest game fishing destination in the country.

The Boogieman is leaving on a very long and exciting adventure. I will be gone so long, many of you may not be here when I get back. So this is my LAST GASP! I know just what to say.

To all the crickets I've known, thanks for all the fish!

Going back over some of my picture to see about when I joined this goup. I found one December 09

Look like I stocked my pond in October last year. So my fish are about a year old. Just want to add it's been a blast talking with everyone here. And looking to spend more time sharing info and pictures with everyone

If by chance I have offended anyone please forgive an old man from Texas.

I notice that I have over 200 pictures in my files. Does this takeup space on the site? Should I remove some?

I know most site has a limit on whats stored on the site. Some time I have to much time on my hands and start this thinking thing.

I would really rather see a photo of the true size of the fish than a photo that's manipulated to look larger. Put a ruler, pack of smokes etc..to make it real.I'm sure very few members do this but at first I believed everything I saw and invited friends to look at some of the giants.I was beaten soundly for my efforts. Call me gullible!

One thing I see on here is lots of great info, lost in space. How can we get some of our best stuff where anyone can find it? I have noticed 7.5 bluegill Sharon has been on a mission, digging through old discussions and asking questions. I admire Sharon. She knows she doesn't know and ain't afraid to…
