I have had a great year catching crappie.....white bass......Smallies and a ton of spotted bass. But the one that I like to catch the most have just been nonexistent for me...the bluegill. I was below Nickajack Dam Sunday and I hooked a true trophy Gill. The water there is pretty clear. As I got the fish close to the net I could tell it was over 10 inches......a trophy here in Tennessee. It was a beautiful fish. Then out of nowhere a long nose gar that was 3.5-4 feet in length grabs my bluegill. It wasn't a fast attack like a largemouth would do, just a slow deliberate grab and he swam away slowly as my line tightened I knew it was going to get cut on the teeth......and it did. I was sick.....but that just kind of sums up my year for bluegill.......LOL. Oh well....this is life.
