Had one of those chamber of commerce weather days yesterday. Calm, clear, and not too warm:
Gunner and I took the light rods and small jigs to a local farm pond.
Found some nice bluegills. Thick and wide as my hand. Most were over 10” and I could barely get my fingers around them.
Later all.

Even wore one of my favorite trapping hats for the occasion.

Beauties! I went fishing yesterday and discovered the crappie are done spawning. I missed it.

Very nice.Congrats

Nice looking fish, great way to spend a bluebird day.

Fat bluegill

They're so much fun to catch

Nice, congrats.

Nice size bluegill. Fun

Pond raised hybrids by the looks...?

Love catching those.

Nice and good eating.

Bream are fun to catch nice pictures

Nice bluegills! Hope you swam some in the hot fat.

…. Some good eatin right there

Way better than that nasty ol catfish you're always eating.

…. Catfish is delicious… you can take a Yankee out of the north…. But you can’t take the north out of a Yankee lol

That's it! I'm gonna go edit my reply on your poll now!!!

.. good ….there was entirely too much positivity in there … it’s in need of dissension

that's some good eating

Haul them home and relocate them into Lake Crisco. Best deep fried fish around.

Man I love me some fried bluegill and perch. I don’t like to filet them. Just scale, gut and cut off the head. Leave the fins on.

….. yessir

Looks like lots of fun and some darn good eating.

Channels , flatheads and blues are the best eating fish out there and I’ve ate them all and still do so I agree with the Texan

Those are nice. Really good "eaten" size!

Channels are very hit and miss here. Fun to catch but I won't even skin them. Flathead are great and the only time I ate it, blue cat was great as well. I'd take flathead belly over walleye or any other freshwater fish for that matter.... but those gills are very good too.

Love getting in to a mess of gills!! Nice jabNE!

Thanks for sharing.

My favorite freshwater fish. After I fill up on bluegill I use the rest of them to catch flathead. My second favorite fish to eat.

Most people that say they don't like catfish is because it wasn't cleaned properly, or wasn't cooked right. Been to a few church fish fries that served catfish that would choke a stray cat. Two large of a chunk, undercooked in 300 deg grease, and full of fat and dark meat.

On bigger fish, say 15 lb and over, if you cut the tail off and let them bleed out it makes a world of difference.
