Challenging to get consistent at catching big ones.
The fillets are like candy.

it's probably because there are so many of them and they put up a really good fight for their size, and they are so tasty too!

On light line with a rod that has some play in it, I'll take fighting a Gill as equal to a Bass on stiff Graphite anyday!

i got sick of having to work so hard for walleye.  it was getting a little ponderous for me.  started trying for other fish for a change, and earned a couple nice fish fry's out of it.  of course i still chase the elusive marble eye, but will not turn my nose up at the myriad of panfish just waiting to jump into the frying pan  ;D

I'm a big fish man. Rainbows, macks, browns, cats, pike. But I love catching a mess of decent sized gills. The 6 - 8" nice ones are great on the table, as good as walleye or perch almost. However no fish of any size, pound for pound, pulls as hard as a giant gill. They are built for power and the wild spinning they do make them a true challenge. Long live the bluegill, the king of the reliable biter. Big ones are very smart though.

not only are they one of the best tasting fish, theyre the safest to eat.  mercury levels in bluegill are almost non existent from what ive been able to find out

Mackdaddy21 said it, a real challange and very smart. I fish presured lakes and all the ''lunkers'' would be 8'' or so. Its NOT because the bigger ones were not there . About 10 years ago i switched from 2# to 1# mono. I started getting more fish and bigger fish. Also i was catching when all the others we sitting and wetting a jig. BUT, more fish and bigger fish were caught 10s and 11s when i started using a black shelter to keep out all the daylight. I did this after i found out that the big ones would turn sideways at the hole to ''take a peek''. Smart little buggars,huh?
