Sharon,
Bluegill are not considered sportfish in Texas. Confirm with your game warden. Check into the Texas Aquaculture Association and visit with some of the foodfish producers in the state. The TAA has a website where you can find out about the fo…
Yep, that's true. The Morgan Company has gone to great lengths (and expense) to create the genesis of a truly world class fishery. The big bluegill are a product of good overall management, starting with a mature habitat. Add a solid food chain and…
Richmond Mill Lake is undoubtedly the most fascinating lake I have had the pleasure of working on in my entire 30 year career as a private fisheries biologist. It was built in 1835...and was a year old when Davy Crockett was killed in the Alamo. It…
Profile Information
- Largest bluegill ever caught?
- 1 pound 14 oz
- Favorite place to catch bluegill?
- My pond(s) in Texas
- Do you have a pond? If so, describe it.
- I have 8 ponds on 12 acres. Two of them are designed to grow bluegill to catch for fun. One of those pods was designed for swimming and I also use it for large quantities of easy to catch bluegill. The second is for trophy fish, bass and bluegill. Two others are designed to grow bluegill fingerlings for profit. One other happens to have bluegill in it, thanks to the migratory efforts of young ones during rainy spring seasons.

Bluegill are a "Big" Deal
The first fish I ever caught was a sunfish, a smallish big-mouthed creature my dad said was a 'bream' and that I later learned was a green sunfish. I would venture to say the first fish many, many kids catch is a sunfish...and bluegill are the kings of panfish.

- When you speak of not keeping your larger fish, what size pond or lake do you mean? I have a seven acre pond that I keep a close eye on and regularly harvest large gills from.

Last year (2009)was the first year slip floating for me and found it to be very effective.Would like folks that are into this kind of fishing to post photos of gear and tips on the best rods ,reels ,bait and terminal tackle to use.
M Caldwell,
Yes, I'm fishing from shore most of the time. I look at the current and usually cast my jigs into the seams, just in the edge of where the main current and boils meet. Below some dams, it doesn't matter where you cast. Just try to keep m…
Okay, after a string of 65 degree days I thought it was about time to head out and see if the gills were biting in one of my local ponds, Heck, the ice was just off only 8 days ago, but the following weather has been way above normal. Could they be…

My pond is only about 3/4 acre. I'll get a better picture this spring of some of these big guys because the angle in this pic is bad so you can't see his very large helmet. Our state record for a HBG is 1lb 12 oz so I hope…
