Do you love big bluegill?

Giant bluegill using the Modica spooning method.

Here's a massive bluegill caught on Bill "Musky" Modica's spooning method. This method has been heavily featured lately by In-Fisherman Magazine, both in print and on their nationally acclaimed fishing show.

This fish was over a foot long, and looked like it was taking steriods. I'd love for Bill to describe this particular spoon and why he likes it so much. Bill recommended I use this setup, and it worked like a charm.

Comment by dick tabbert on January 20, 2012 at 10:23pm: Bruce again that is a very beautiful and special I couldn't imagine a gill being that large and if I had it, it would be a permanent fixture in my pond. Bruce did your dentist ever talk to you you about holding solid things with your teeth. LOL

Comment by Bill "Musky" Modica on January 20, 2012 at 8:39pm: A true grip of successful spooning!

Comment by Bruce Condello on January 20, 2012 at 6:38pm: Ooops. Found another good shot showing the spoon!

Comment by dick tabbert on January 19, 2012 at 6:35pm: You got me beat Tony I only looked about 25 times and enjoyed it every time. No doubt it is a magnificent fish and thank goodness he shared with us so we have that option to see what we all want to enjoy.
