The males have been on nests for a bit over a week now here. A week ago, I thought the females were "fit to burst" with eggs, and would be spawning soon. I caught some today that were even fatter...looked like they were getting ready to lay a golf ball! Maybe they are waiting for the next full moon, which is June 18?

Absolutely beautiful bluegills! All released so they can finish "doing their thing".

Here's a nice bull 'gill from today, just under 9":
