Big bull 'gills but I paid a price...

[7Pines]

Anders and I hit our top-TOP-secret bluegill/bass lake yesterday.? We got into some genuine dandies, all males on the beds.? Gave our 4wt. fly rods quite a workout! :o
I think we hit about 80 or so and kept a limit for the fry pan.
Some of these 'gills put as much bend on the fly rod as any 20" trout!




Here's the price I paid...painful burns to the knees.  Missed a few spots with the sunscreen!  Youch!

oh man........ouch. Been there done that. As much as I hate that greasy slippery feeling of suntan lotion, I hate sunburn more.

Looks like you caught some biggies. Sunfish on fly rods must be a blast.
