Some gills

Wanted some ingredients for fish tacos so chased some gills at a county park lake wanting ten nice gills and the gills liked what I had on the menu, my little duck jigs were automatic, again. Gills were 7.5-9" in length, not on beds yet. About 9 am the bass showed up and had a couple big ones that I thought were 5-6 lbs kept trying to eat my gills when I brought them in and I would horse the gills in thinking they were to big for the bass. Never saw the 10#er until it ate that gill. Here is pics of some that didn't get eaten. At least not yet. Attachment 458140Attachment 458141Attachment 458142Attachment 458143Attachment 458144

That gill in the last picture had some colors there I've never seen before in a northern strain gill. Just under 9". My goal is to catch a 10" gill this year and think there might be some in this lake. Going again today but will take a bass rod and a few baits just in case.

Nice looking gills. Congrats on a fun outing.

10 inch bluegill are pretty rare in these parts , seems only the florida coppernose version and or hybrids of them attain them lengths locally , the regular native bluegill here are big at about 7 to 8 inches ....congrats and KABOOM

Like y’all, I’m looking for one that crosses the ten mark. Haven’t found him yet with all of those that I get. Some are close but not quite.

Gorgeous colors. Thanks for the take along.
