I just saw a picture on here of a nice one pound bluegill, and thought i would share this pic with everybody. Redbreast 1lb and above is pretty rare around here. I caught this fish in the Ogeechee river, and it gets hammered in the spring and summer.
Nice fish!
Bootifull!! I luv river fishing for dem redbellies..
Dandy fish....... Congrats.
That's the biggest red breast I've ever seen.
Nice looking "rooster"!
I have never seen a redbreast, and that is a beautiful example! Is that a skin mount or a fiberglass replica?
This is a skin mount, its a male redbreast as they have darker red colors than females.
That is a beauty and a nice mount too - Congrats! Alec
beautiful fish. i cant wait to start bream fishing this summer.
I've caught redbreast for as long as I can remember but that has to be the biggest one I have ever seen. What did you catch him on?
Those redbreast are some pretty fish. Especially those with that distinctive humps on their heads. ;) I've caught a ton (figure of speech) of 3/4 lbers but I'm still looking for my first 1 lb. bream. Congrats on a real trophy.
I have not caught a one pounder yet, but I have caught a few that were very close. Now I have seen a couple that were no doubt a pound or better in some of the South Georgia rivers. Especially when they are on the beds. I also can't wait for spring. I'm glad we've been getting the rain though. They really need that highwater to grow and feed. River fishing around here got pretty dismal this past fall with the drought.
we catch bream here year round this cold weather is gonna stack them up behind the clarkhill dam like you wouldnt beleive.Our winter trips can yeild 130=150 bluegill,shellcrackers,redbreasts,and crappies in just 2or3 hours consistantly!
well they dont stack up like that in the Ogeechee during the winter for some reason, i wish they did.
What did you catch it on.
great lookin fish man!!!!
Slab Slayer do you ever fish the Satilla or the Canoochee for rooster reds. What do you like in the way of Beetle Spins type baits. I hear Flip R's and Spin Dandies are really good down that way. Any weight or color preference?
I really like the spin dandies. I like ther crawfish color, and the black and yellow. They will murder them in the Ogeechee. Never been to the Satilla, or Canoochee.Quote:

Me and my dad went to the Canoochee on Ft. Stewart and had a blast last summer. With all this rain we are getting and the rivers getting out of the banks we ought to have a banner fishing year. I know of someone catching a 1lb 3oz out of the Canoochee last year. He fishes it religiously though and he stated that it is the biggest one he has ever caught. Congratulations on that 1 pounder, that's like catching a 15 pound bass. I bet he pulled like one on ultra light tackle. Something about them coming out of those blackwater rivers that really makes them glow red.
WTG, can't wait to go this Sat. @ a WWD
