I guided a husband and wife from Minnesota today for trophy bluegill. We fished one pond in the morning, and a different pond in the afternoon. We only caught six fish, all coppernose, in three hours of fishing from about 5:50 a.m. until 9:00 a.m.

The action was faster in the afternoon, but the fish averaged smaller, probably only averaged about 8". This was the biggest northern-strain:

The biggest coppernose from the second pond was a little better:
