    Default from today


    I guided a husband and wife from Iowa today. The biggest bluegill was an 11" coppernose that weighed 22 ounces. Here are a few photos:

    All these were caught on live red wigglers - the bluegill in this particular pond laugh at artificials.

    nice ones
    The finest gift you can give to any fisherman is to put a good fish back, and who knows if the fish that you caught isn't someone else's gift to you?"

    Thanks, guys! Now I'm thinking that the biggest one may have weighed more than 22 ounces - an outdoor writer on another site asked if my scale was accurate, and said to him this fish looks more like 1-10 or 1-12. I had thought the same thing when I weighed it.

    Young Gun, they don't get this big just on their own - it takes a lot of work! I'm still waiting on the first two-pounder, hopefully soon.

    those look so fat they can't hardly swim. Nice fish.
    GO BIG ORANGE !

    I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.

    Yes, these fish are fed - a 45% protein food that I get out of Pennsylvania.
