Bluegills are 5 star. Mix a bowl of 50 % flour and 50% yellow corn meal. Get the oil medium high NOT SCORCHING . Add lots of pepper and some salt to the meal mixture. Coat bluegills good and carefully put in hot oil . When they are stiff and golden brown yuo will have some serious good eatting fish. I think I need to go and get me a mess. With a little practice you can use a fork and eat without getting many bones. After one side is eatten remove the bones for a good bite of boneless sweet flesh.
Good Stuff man.
My favorite aer the red earred sunfish { shell crackers they call them in Florida}
