Caught some nice bluegills today, big round ones we used to call hubcaps. And a purple blue gill, cool looking, don't see many of these. I'll put a bluegill against any other fresh water fish for beautiful coloration. And a couple other fish too.

Those Blue Gills are a real treat to look at.

I was using gulp minnows, and they tend to ride up off the hook and up on the line a ways when bringing these guys in.

Those are some great fish and pictures hooklinensinker!

Anybody else ever catch a purple bluegill? I think that was my second one ever. I have caught several that were more blackish in the same area that one was purple, by several I mean a half dozen this year.

The one with the red eye, that's not from the camera, that perch looked like it had a severe hangover. Can't recall seeing red eyes like that before on a bluegill.

If I remember right, the red eyes are shell cracker cross or just shell crackers. One of those pics looks like the bluffs near Blum Lloyd.


I'm on other forums that deal with the old turbo powered Buicks.;)
