Pumpkinseed, badass fish of Lake Windigo

On July 7, Sam S. and I fished Lake Windigo for a couple of hours. We didn't raise any pike, which is what I was expecting, but did manage to fool some largemouth and a couple of good sized pumpkinseed bluegills.

Actually, "fool" isn't the right word. Those gills were aggressive! The one in the photograph hit on a big shad rap.

I don't what he was thinking. No way the creature could fit that large lure in his tiny little mouth. But that's the thing about big 'gills--they swagger.
