Personal Best Bluegill

[Eskimo]

.


Thanks all.

I don't know why that Bluegill looked so different. Maybe it was stocked and it came from a different gene pool then the native sunfish.

I'm kicking myself for not taking a better picture of it next to a ruler before releasing it. Oh well. I can't do anything about it now.

I like the delicate flavor of sunfish fillets. There's isn't much meat on an individual fish, so gathering enough fillets for a meal is a bit of a time investment.

I even spent $55 on a Panhandler fish filleting gizmo. It allows you to quickly fillet out sunfish and leave relatively little meat on the carcass. We'll see how long this thing lasts. Here's a video about the 'Panhandler' from someone I assume is the inventor:
