Ha! They TRY to eat the big pellets. It's amazing how 'optimum forage theory' plays out.. the big bluegills attack the big pellets, not realizing they can't eat them. Yes, I have my dreams of a big 3.5lb gill eating the AM Largemouth.
Aaron,
Are you sure they are not getting some of those big pellets? When I fed bass with the largemouth pellets I noticed they crumble easy and I saw even fathead minnows attacking them.
Is your state record bluegill a hybrid or pure bluegill? Our state does not differentiate between the two.
