more respect for bluegills - fishfinder401 - 11-09-2009 i was just wondering, who agrees along with me that bluegill should get much more respect as a gamefish [signature] Re: [fishfinder401] more respect for bluegills - albinotrout - 11-11-2009 Bluegills and Green Sunfish can get to be really good size and they can be fun on a slow day when nothing else wants to bite.[cool] [signature] Re: [albinotrout] more respect for bluegills - fishfinder401 - 11-11-2009 i know what you mean and they don't need big lakes to grow big either, in my neighborhoods 3 acre pond i was fly fishing and saw a bluegill like 2-2 1/2 inches wide rise on it but i could set the hook, it would have easily been a state record [signature] Re: [fishfinder401] more respect for bluegills - davetclown - 11-11-2009 [url "javascript:;"][/url] [center]I tell ya, I just cant get no respect.

A big bull bluegill is a prize. [signature] Re: [fishfinder401] more respect for bluegills - sabigfish - 12-12-2009 Bluegill are excellent fighter and you can't beat them on 2 lb test line. I've got my best results on Berkley Gulp 1.5 chart jig grub. [signature] Re: [sabigfish] more respect for bluegills - lurtch - 12-13-2009 i still prefer chasing them around ice fishing...tear drops and waxworms..
