Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Hello all.

I am from Utah. I have been fishing for as long as I can remember. I fish however, and whenever I can. This year I caught my first Carp on my fly pole. I have my fly rod in my truck all the time, you never know when you are going to need it. I have been all through the types of fishing, from Bass fishing, to float tubing, Giant (this is a relative term. 18 pounds is my largest) Channel Cats to 4 inch Gills. I have been on a Carp kick for a few years. Last year the Rivers didn't cooperate and I didn't catch one. This year has been awesome. I have caught more fish by number this year than any I can think of (Around 250 this week). I am excited to learn more about these awesome fish! Thanks for the opportunity.
