I caught a bunch of bluegill and one small largemouth bass. Ounce for ounce, I am convinced that Bluegill are the hardest fighting fish in the world - they are just small so their punch is compact. If bluegill got any bigger, dogs and humans swimming in lakes would be fish food. I'll declare a truce for all of humanity with the league of bluegills - I'll continue to catch and release them with fly gear, and they won't grow big enough to eat human children and mammals smaller than 100 pounds. No need to thank me - I'm just fishing!
