The one-pound bluegill broke the South Dakota record in the "unrestricted" division.⁠ ⁠ “They were post-spawn fish, and most were little 6-inchers,” says DeRoy, an electrical contractor from Clear Lake. “Bluegills shy away from scuba bubbles. But if you wait patiently, they get curious and come closer. I could see one bluegill was larger than the others, and when the little ones got close to me, the big one came nearer, too. When he was four feet away, I got a good shot on him through his head.”⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in profile for the full story 🔗⁠ ⁠ #fishing #spearfishing #fishingtrip #fishingseason #spearfish #bluegill #panfish #recordfish #southdakota #outdoors #nature #outdoorlife⁠ 📷: Jason DeRoy⁠ Story by: Bob McNally
