Slot lake for bass, can keep under 14" or above 21", so the bass is legal.
Stray crappie took a worm, enjoyed that.
Biggest bluegill pulled like a bass, thought it was a bass until I finally saw it.

Nice catch. Good job.

Thanks Banker. Probably fry up some tomorrow. Spouse likes'em best fried whole. I kept some that were medium size because they are easier to scale and cook whole. Filleted the big boys. Looks like baking in lemon butter will have to wait.

Fried or baked it's all good!

nice mixed catch you got there. hope to take my 1st gill trip next Saturday.Hopefully do well enough to have AJ fry up a few gills mustard style and have some Modelo's on ice.

Thanks for the reply crope1. For bluegills, I have found that a live worm on a bottom rig will always get me more than enough for a good meal for several people if I move around looking for them. Good luck.

By the way, that large butcher knife in the pic is not my fillet knife. I had it to cut the heads off, but never used it even for that. A small, flexible fillet knife does a good job on gills for me.

Great fish, that second bluegill from the right has an ear flap as long as a redbreast. The bluegill look nice and fat but the crappie and bass look a bit thin. I wonder why?

All you needed was a catfish and you would have recorded a slam

Yes Sir! Bluegill and Modelo's. It just don't get any better!

Nice gills

When the gills get the size of keeper crappie then its on and poppin

Very Nice. The second to far right fish is interesting.

The second from the right was the one so strong I thought i had caught a bass until I saw it. It has the vertical markings of a bluegill, so I assume that is what it was, although it has a huge gill flap. Could be a bluegill crossed with something like a longear I guess. Maybe someone that knows will ID it???

Hybrid Bluegill/sunfish!

Nice'uns for sure....

Half Bluegill / Half Redbreast ?
