For all you aquarium enthusiasts, a "native species" tank full of bluegill & red ear sunnies are about the easiest to care for and prettiest fish you can find. Just cover the tank when you're filleting their buddies.
A couple of my favorites.(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)dc
Sandbilly,Yeah those Nebraska bluegills are something else! Do you know where Denton is? That is where the bluegill came from in the first and second pictures.
Would your friend be interested is selling a few for an aquarium or breeding purposes?
Here's one I caught last nite!! (Image removed from quote.)
I might be going out on a limb here but I think bluegills are some of the most beautiful fish we have in North American. They are right up there with pumkinseeds and brook trout although their colors are a little more subtle.
So taxi when do i get to come and fish i live just down the road from you or do you need an apprentice
Beautiful bull gill
on light tackle they are tough nonstop fighters and as for table fare, theyre right there with perch ,crappies and walleyes.
