What a pretty Bluegill and they sure are delicious eating. They sure are a great fish to catch, especially when you're fishing with a 2wt rod.

A few years ago, I went fishing with a buddy who was using a Carolina rig for LM bass while I was flailing away with my fly rod. He felt a small tap on his worm but that was all, so he fished it back to the boat. When he brought the worm up, it had a five inch bluebill that had stuffed about three inches of the 8 inch worm down it's mouth and couldn't spit it out. This bluegill sees something that's 40% longer than he is and he's not only going to attack it, he's going to eat it whole. You gotta love a fish with that kind of attitude.
