Personal Best Bluegill

[briansnat]

That has to be the biggest bluegill I ever saw. When I was a kid we'd go to our lake house in Sussex County and the bluegills by the dock were like flies. If you threw a piece of hot dog roll in the water it was gone in seconds, they were like a swarm of piranha. They hit everything. I liked catching them on bare hooks with no bait.

We could catch bucket fulls, literally. If you didn't get bored after 15 minutes you could easily catch 100 or more in an afternoon. Some were pretty big, but none as big as the one you caught.
