So many MASSIVE Bluegills!!!!! (Multiple 1 Pound Fish)

Doesn’t get much better than that. You are a true sportsman. Our public lakes in Illinois are pretty much full of 5 and 6 inch gills and crappie. The public needs to be better educated so thank you for using this platform to help get the message across.

So impressive! Great video and I love the message of being responsible with those trophies! Giant gills should be treated with the same respect as other species!

Great Video as are all of yours. Thanks for taking the time to make and share them. This one brought back memories. I was born and raised in NYC and pretty much over the years fished much of N.Y state. However, in the late 70's I had mover to NJ. While working for the RR a conversation came up concerning fishing. When I told them about the size of the sunfish in some of the NYS reservoirs, one of them told me about GIANT SUNFISH in a gravel pit that just happened to be adjacent to the RR. When I had the opportunity to finally fish it, I was targeting Bass using minnows. I however caught TWO Bluegill males one being 10- 3/4 " the other being11-1/2". I frankly never previously saw bluegills with those dimensions. They were LITERALLY as big as coffee saucers.

That’s a special place for sure! Protect it like crazy, slobs will ruin it in under a year.

Great Video! Love seeing these giant BLUEGILLS! TIGHT LINES 🐟

Last fall, my sister caught an 11 inch bluegill in the backwaters off of the lower Wisconsin River! A Beast!

Good afternoon from Philippines. I always enjoy your video. Keep safe and God bless always ⛵⛵🐟

Those were some of the nicest bluegills that I've ever seen in my life!

Big gills for anywhere in the Country for sure!!!!!

Not a boat in sight, this video cheers me up

Got an 11.5” last ice season, my biggest. What a spectacular specimen. Congratulations!

I thought I was subscribed. I live over in Hillsdale, MI. My kid has caught (2) 12" Bluegills on the same day. I haven't caught any that big yet but I keep trying. My 2 biggest came on the same day they were 11 1/2 inches. I caught them both trying to Lindy rig walleye on a Lake up in Genessee county MI.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen bluegill so full. Such a rarity

Man! I've commented twice 😂Those chunks deserve to be put back! Nice! Very nice!👍

Must be nice to have a whole lake to yourself. As soon as I put the trolling motor down there are 20 boats and 50 jet skis flying everywhere

I know a couple spots in Michigan similar, not near the metro areas. Keep them under your hat!!!! The wrong people will unfortunately take too many

Amazing catch a 4 pound bluegill

When I fish for bluegill im usually using 1 or 2 Lb fish line. I set the drag kinda lite and let them tire themselves out. When I tell you its fun on lite line the smile it brings and the excitement I just can't get enough. 6 Lb is good when im fishing for multiple species but I typically fish for bluegill, and shellcrackers only. I typically catch bluegill an shell cracker anywhere from 9 to 13 inches but I would love to hook into some bigger ones someday.

I know where there like this but it's a private lake. I had a friend that lived on the lake and I got to go fishing there, I waded the shore line and used my #4 fly rod with floating line and tippett with XT 6 lb test line and a small popper,was a great time I kept 12 of them and enjoyed catching bluegills and letting them go.

Those gills are huge
