caught this dadonkadonk off a bed today around lunchtime. 11-3 on the digi. once again on "God's swimbait" - the live bluegill. i probably coulda caught this girl last night, but it was getting pretty dark. since i couldn't see, i had to set the hook when i got a bite. you guessed it - i caught the male. he weighed 4-5 pounds probably. he gave me a good tussle, but catchin' him set me back a little with her. > fortunately she was cooperative today. hope y'all are catchin' some too.
What a hog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DUDE!
You're on a Cali roll!

DDDAAAMMMNNN!!!!! That's how you do it! I've caught all my PB'd with live Bluegills. I love using them but it takes forever sometimes to round up a bucket of about six. How do you catch them?

i've got permission to fish a pond that is absolutely full of gills. every cast in there you get one within seconds. i just use my little ultralight rig. when i've got enough i take 'em bassin'. i keep 'em alive in a huge tub of water in the back of my truck.
that thing is a freaking alligator
what does pb'd mean?
Wow man awesome fish and I *** you soooooo muchhhhhh
TAKE ME TO YOUR DEALER MAN HOOK A BROTHER UP
how do you rig a live bluegill for fishing? anyone know if you can use them in Minnesota?
oh, and awesome fish man, that thing is huge.
typically i rig 'em nose hooked. every once in a while tail or back hooked. 5/0 - 6/0 hook. when i'm bed fishing, i use enough weight to keep 'em on the bed. otherwise, i just free line 'em and let 'em swim with no weight or float. sorry but i don't have any idea about minnesota regs.
Awesome, that is one huge hawg.
