## Caption

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.”⁠
