your missing out phill!!! do they have bluegill in maine???
Yeah we sure do and hardly anyone fish for them up here...
Phil..I'm going out again Friday..June is bluegill month for Florida..and these are some of the best I've ever caught..The first 12 incher gets mounted..

Some were closeto 11 inches.
Those are some big ones that is for sure Chuck! My brother once caught one monster bluegill and put it in a bucket of water to show my mom. It layed flat across the whole bucket and couldn't turn upside right if it had to. After showing my mom we went down and put it back into the water again to set it free. Today we both wonder if it would of been a state record or not..[:@]
