Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

I know most of you all are focusing on Sunfish, but, just in case.....

I was in my usual hole in the river today.  Caught a couple Skipjack on a Bead Chain Clouser, then noticed some stripey fish were hammering topwaters, so switched over to a Pop-R and caught a bunch.

I also caught a White Perch.  These things are invasive.  DO NOT RETURN THEM TO THE WATER ALIVE.  They basically look like a small Sand Bass, but without the stripes.  The spiny dorsal fin and the soft-rayed dorsal fin are slightly joined at the base.

They're small, about 9" or so, but tasty.  Or, if you prefer, they make decent cut-bait for the bigger predators.

Tuna in a river?

Sorry, should used the complete name.  Skipjack Herring.  They make great cut bait for catfish.
