Well I'll be.....this is a first for me

[L a r r y]

I hit up a new small community pond because I hear that there are some decent sized fish in there.  As a matter of fact, they say there are some BIG bass in there.  Well after seeing what they would want to bite, I pick out a blue gill Bandit 100 crank.  Give it a good flick and bam......fish on, I set the hook and about jerked this lil fell out of the water from about 25 yards out......First time for me to catch a blue gill on a blue gill crank bait

Bluegill are vicious.  If they could grow to the size of bass they would be the number one sport fish.   ;D

That one you caught is good eatin' size.  I would like to have me a few of them.

I have caught Bluegill on practically every bass lure I have. They will attach anything!

As Big Tom said, if they grew the size of LMB, I would fish for nothing else. Pound for pound, I think they fight harder than anything!

Nice!  I just started fishing a community pond that backs up to my house, and I can't believe there's decent fishing there.  I've caught channel catfish, crappie, and a few 15 inch bass.  I've seen some gar in there as well. 

I've been fishing salt water all my life, so it's been a crash course in fresh water fishing lately.  NOW I get why people fish for bass - a lot of fun and it's a lot easier to find fishing spots.  I typically have to drive 1+ hour to the coast for salt water fishing.

Been there, have the T-shirt.

This one, however takes the cake:

Spring time on Sodus Bay, Lake O., so the pea soup hadn't arrived.  That wasn't my bait, but blue and chartreuse cranks pay big dividends there.  I think I was throwing a spinnerbait with a similar color scheme that day.
