WELCOME TO BIG BLUEGILL!!

This website has been created for all of us who love BIG BLUEGILL! Create an account, post blogs about bluegill and redear sunfish and talk about bluegill fishing, research bluegill history, view photos, and post photos of our favorite fish. Your bluegill, redear or pumpkinseed picture doesn't have to be of a gigantic fish. A nice fish with a happy angler or pretty background will do just fine. Photos of redear sunfish, pumpkinseed, hybrid sunfish, or other lepomids (sunfish) are also strongly encouraged. Big shellcrackers and pumpkinseed sunfish rock! This website has tons of great information on bluegill fishing. We especially like bluegill and/or redear sunfish videos.

Fantastic action shot. Is that from a snapshot, time lapped camera, a video extract shot? Just too cool.

Always a good day when the line is wet. Nice catches no less. Let me know if you want to keep your wigglers wiggling longer under water. I'll send you the resin to play with to keep them wiggling just a few minutes more in tue chilly water

Some of the guys are using spinning reels on them as well. Some of us just don't want to have to mess with having to flip the bail open each time LOL We fish primarily from float tubes so the simpler we can keep things the better....at least…

You got it! Add the smells that can peel your skin off, you got the ultimate bait.

I believe it is the protein/amino acid connection that draws catfish to cheese baits. Is that so, Leo?
