Do you love big bluegill?
Another Good day of fishing, Moby Dick caught at last
Another 2 year search ended yesterday. I caught a Nebraska Master Angler redear sunfish a few weeks ago, and that was a big deal to me. But I big ol' MA bluegill from public waters has been my true target......
10.25"
My buddy and I had a heck of a time locating, and then figuring out what they wanted, but we caught about 50 fish total, I kept 7 for dinner, letting the big one, and bigger ones swim to be caught another day.

I can't say there was much of a pattern, I had tied on a copper john fly with a red body, and black and red rubber legs. I put about 20' of line out, and then stuck my fly rod in a rod holder while I rigged up my spinning gear to troll while I casted the fly rod. While messing with the spinning rod, the fish hit the fly like a freight train!

Gorgeous fish Alex!....I hear alot of you guys talk about awards and citations for fish in your home states.....I don't believe that my state (IL) offers such a program.

Nicely done, Alex!! It's great when hard work pays off! I myself am on the same quest...Minnesota has a master angler award program too! I have achieved it a couple of times but, that was before I knew that the program exsisted. Congrats again!!!!
