Regardless of size or how obtained, it is illegal to use any sport fish for bait (except redear sunfish less than 6 inches long).Bluegills are not sport fish and may be taken for bait as described above.

It's legal in Indiana if you caught the bluegill by legal means. IE if you caught in with a rod and reel and bait. Then you can fish with the blue gill (sunfish) and use it to fish for larger bass or catfish. I asked a Game Warden about this a few years ago and he confirmed what I'm saying. Not sure what the law is in KY or the other states. So I'd recommend you ask someone with knowledge of each state's fishing regulations to find out. But you just did that on here! Hope you find your answer for your fishing holes.

I do not know if there is a maximum size limit that you can use and I also don't know how you are supposed to catch bluegill for bait. I just put a wax worm on a bobber and catch it that way...

This is the biggest Musky that I've caught so far this year. She was 48 inches long, but I didn't weigh her. Just took a picture and released her.

Thanks! Yea we had one about a week after that with the whole family and also had some nice white bass from I think rough river. And where do you hook the bluegill? I usually hook my baitfish around the tail so they stay alive. If you are willing to say I'd be very thankful! -drew

100 lb spinner shark 5 foot 4 inches, I am 5 foot 7 inches but the tail was dragging the ground I couldn't get the whole thing off the ground. Good fishing!
