    Gorgeous. Hopefully nobody harvests these fish before they breed. These are perfect breeders.

    Long time ago I started using your realistic rig to catch jumbo copper nose bluegill. It works every time. As long as there are bluegill around, the realistic rig works. Thanks. I learned a lot from your channel!

    Bluegill fishing is where it's at! My favorite! Everyone focuses on bass, but for ME, bluegills are #1.

    I bought the gulp minnows yesterday, they definitely didn’t disappoint! My 7 year old son caught 5 bluegill the first day out using them. Im glad I found your channel, it’s given my son and I some great ideas to try. I look forward to watching more realistic content!

    Congrats Alex! Incredible that every one of those Bluegill was a JUMBO! Those were some of the BEST Bluegill I've ever seen! I made it out fishing at a local park here in MI today, as it has temporarily warmed up. Caught 10 Bluegill (none as big as yours), 3 Crappie, and 1 very tiny LM Bass. Caught them all just like you with Gulp Minnows under a float. Had a blast! Thanks again for a super video!!

    Usually when I have trouble catching game fish and they won't bite I will switch to fishing panfish. When you use ultra lite tackle and get on them, its as fun if not better than catching game fish. I always say if panfish got as big as say a bass, fisherman would target them more for the fight. They are one of the toughest fighting fish in the water. Awesome video Alex.
