8-9.25” Bliegills 12/28/20

Biofisher and I wanted to catch a few nice gills for the dinner table today and mission accomplished. We landed 29 or 30 gills between 8-9.25”. We kept a bunch of little ones for catfish bait for Gary. I kept 12 for the dinner table and Gary took all the remaining fish.

Catawba worms did the fish in as they are suckers for worms. A lot of fun. I wish that I had frozen more than I did because I’m almost out. Enough left for one more trip. I guess that I’ll have to go with night crawlers in January and February. Grin.

WOW! those look to be nice fish. Around here they call those worms Catalpa worms . Killer bluegill and catfish bait. We have the trees but for some reason no longer get the worms.
The big red worms I get at a local bait shop work almost as good. Wallmart sells the big red worms and call them trout worms.

Those are some really nice bluegills !

Catalpa worms may be the correct name. I have always heard it pronounced as Catawba. That is Southern hillbilly lingo. Lolol.

Wikipedia gives the name both as Catalpa and Catawba, so I guess the area that we are from is how we say it. Again. Lolol.

No matter how you say it great success! Thanks for the pics!

KABOOM is the word :highfive

common man that is a great day for sure! used to have the best BG/bass private lake around and would fill up my two man with bigun's like those but sadly no longer have access. WTG dont usually see that in winter time so GFY guys.

My favorite fish to catch, congrats!

Those are some nice gills for sure... I’m itching to get on a good mess... Congrats on the eaters!

Nicely done!
