Very nice fish! Have you ever been to bigbluegill . com? It's a site dedicated to, well, what you would expect with a name like that :-) There are really some incredible bluegill fishermen there, and people are very friendly and helpful.
Did you notice how close the fly came to the camera? :-)
@gcollin75 I know right! I hook 28 pounders sometimes in the creek behind my house. My record is a 35 pounder caught deep-sea fishing. That was nuts. come on now...
@Fishingallday31 as far as i know bluegill can't live in brackish water. And the biggest bluegill ever caught was 5lbs 7oz Caught by Amos Gray in 1998, somewhere in SC. I could not weigh the one I caught because the line snapped while pulling it out of the water. It was brand new 15 pound test. And the knot was flawless.
@whitesoxman61 I'm not full of shit, and I don't know how much it weighed because the line snapped while pulling it out. Me and my friend are the only ones who have fished in the pond for 5 years (the last time it was stocked).
Nice job, really good gill. What fly were you using? I fly fish/tie too, love to see other kids my age doing it.
One word of advise, you can improve your casting by making more noticeable "stops"on the back and front casts instead of a fluid mothion. This will load up the rod more giving you a farther cast, while also tightening your loop and granting you more accuracy. Good vid!
I am confused, in fly fishing does the reel itself have reeling mechanism like spinning reels do or do you have to manually reel in by pulling the line in? I have seen videos in which there is an actual reel hand in reeling and some videos where the reeling is done manually. I want to get into this sport, but I am not sure. And if both types of reeling actually exist, which is type is more professional and not amateur like.
i like your enthusiasm about fishing i believe by your look that you are about the same age as me i am 14 but not to down on you but i was using a flyfishing popper on a spinning rod and a sun fish was big enough that i caught it but it swallowed the popper i dont know about you but my popper was 2 inch long and about a inch and a half around
Very nice fish. where are you fishing at, because here in texas, the bluegill arent colored like that. they are all gold and black. They get a little bigger than that here in texas, but not much. Nicely done
nice fish man. i have a couple tips for you though. dont break your wrist on your back cast, which will allow you to cast further with more ease. Also, when fighting the fish, keep you rod handle parallel to the ground, which will keep the rod tip up and let you fight more effectively
He didn't ask y'all how big the bluegill you catch are! Jeez! He was just showing off a nice "gill" that he caught! So lay off him!!! lol. Nice catch dude. It looks about the size of the red ear down in Indiana! :)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
ha!!!! thats a baby! i catch bigger with my bare hands! i cant believe you think its big! oh my god...4 pounders are regularities whaere i live. good vid, dont get me wrong, but use the word monster with more caution than that.
@bassmaster2399 Bluegills dont get that big, they are a small species of lake fish. The largest blue gill ever caught was 4 lbs 12ounces! What kind of fish you catch bare handed???
@Chris24hrbail i live in texas, i have a secret spot in a forest by my neighborhood, its about a 40 by 30 pond, almost oval shaped, and i feed them a mix that i make with more nutrients than i can name. ive been feeding that to them for 7 years.
in new jersey thats considered a small sunfish for some reason i catch those everywhere at that size on the fly rod or normal bait the bluegill here are so big and used to people you could walk in the water and touch them sometimes however our bass and catfish dont get that big only bluegill really
@Fishingallday31 its pretty big blue gill, but if you are in the maryland area. try fishing deep creek lake. there is some tru blue monster blue gill in there. there is also walleye, bass, catfish, perch, crappie, musky, pike, sauger, pickrel, carp, and probably some others that i havent caught yet. the biggest blue gill i caught out of there before was about 9 inches long and 7 inches tall.
Thats a monster, my bro caught one a bit bigger but yours is still a monster.
