lunker1987,

Using a 4" bluegill hooked through the back with a long shanked brim hook works really well. I introduced my this method after a bass slapped at 2 differnet small bluegills my 9 year old was reeling in and caught a 2 lb 6 oz LMB. Since then, it is the fishing method as soon as we hit the pond......as she states....."We raise the worms to catch the bluegill to catch the LMB to bring to the table"....

Twice the LMB would not hit the brim so the kids left the dead fish hanging under a bobber and about 20-30 minutes later, 7 lb 1 oz 3-1/2 year old Channel Cat was on the bank....it was hard for the 16 year old to eat supper with a constant grim he had.....lol
