Monster bluegill

This "football" was almost too much for my 4wt rod. Almost a foot long and 2" thick. He murdered a white Boogle Bug. Caught several nice 1 pounders this morning but this brute made them look small.:banana:

That old bull got by for a long time.

That's a true string stretcher right there. A lot of bass fishermen would have second thoughts about their choice of sport if they caught a few of those.

Ain't that the truth Fryer. Big bluegill on light fly rods or even light spinning tackle far exceeds any bass fishing enthusiasm for me.

I like a 13 ft cane (fiberglass) pole. They can make the line sing! One of my favorite fish to catch in the world

I hope you mounted that dude.

Nothing more fun than catching big bream on a light weight fly rod. Warm water fly fishing is my passion, especially ultra light gear. I have a 00, a 1 wt, two 3 wts and a 4 wt. All Sage rods.

Caught a big bull gill that went just under 2lbs with my 1 weight. Talk about a fight. More proud of that fish than some of the large bass I have caught.

You share my passion! Funny, my 2 wt was laying in the kayak but wouldn't dare try to use it in the cypress trees. Those big bulls are nasty in the timber

Nothing like hearing that slurp when they take a popper.

That ole boy survived snakes, snapping turtles, and birds but his own greed and a Boogle Bug did him in.

Nice one sir!
