Thread: Announcing Panfish Jig Swap

That my friend is one fine Bluegill!
I would have mounted that one also. They just don't come much bigger
these days.
The biggest Gill I ever saw was in a fish display box in northern Wisconsin.
It was in 1960 (some of you weren't even a fingerling yet!) Some guy
caught two bluegills, one was 2 3/4 pounds and the "little one" was 2 1/2
pounds They looked like dinner plates with a mouth and tail!
My biggest to date is 1lb 4 oz. must have been a grandson to the one you caught

Hey thanks its my biggest so far but always trying for a bigger one. Only thing that drives me crazy is my dad caught 3 bluegills about 3 years ago that were bigger than mine and threw them back. He just laughed and said you cant teach this old dog any new tricks, I told you I would get one bigger. LOL

I have some pictures some where of him holding one up bigger than mine and he caught it on a small rapala fishing for largemouth bass. Well its all good that he out fished me as we had a great time and made some great memories that day and have some pictures to prove it.

Hey CK3,
Will a 1/24 oz jig had be OK????
I have some beauties from my friend Grubs.
I would like to tyum up and sendum out.

Tie em up! It's kinda late to add anything to the swap, but I made an exception with the 1/100 oz jig as I didn't realize so many tied that small.
So I guess 1/24 will be OK too. It is in the range of smaller jigs for bream that we're looking for.


Happy tieing
