Brim/Bluegill

I grew up brim fishing with my grandparents. My grandmother calls them stump-knockers, because they can be found hiding around stumps and rocks in shallow water. I took this picture at Econfina Spring, he made his home in a hole in the limerock. Bluegill are fun to catch and are second to none in the frying pan. Catching a mess of big bluegill is a common event throughout the spring, summer and early fall in Florida.
