If you could travel to any lake in North America to catch big bluegills, where would you go? I would like to go on a trip with my wife for a chance at some big ones.

I don't know.

I don't know where you would go but It would probably have to be when those gills are on the beds. That way at least you wouldn't have to worry If they are biting or not.

There are some cribs on the Chip and I have caught some nice gills off of them but they are hard to find and the fishing Is a little spotty.
A couple of years ago I was fishing a crib and caught a 39" musky On my ultra lite and 2Lb test line. Even landed It.

Good luck.

Do you have a spot for 1 pounders Hal? I just want one for the wall!!!

Like I said, I have no idea.

Why is it the Beav reminds me of Hap from the Red Green Show . . .

10” bluegills? I know where I would go. 150’ out my back door.

Lake Kegonsa of the Madison chain is a great lake for big gills

Does it have to be public?

I have a few like this in my pond. Some are bigger than this one.

Any pond stocked with hybrids.

That's because he is a wizened captain on the sea of life. Stick around, he'll show you how to catch Moby Dick on a top water plug.

We have a place in NW Indiana Willow Slough that has some big gils 9-11 inch most days

Green lake in chisago co MN has some good sized bluegill or used to a couple years ago have not been there since 14

You will need a boat to reach the best areas

Have you see a one legged man with a sailing ship?

What has 8 eyes, and eight legs?

A Hippopotamus.

I am just looking for a new place to fish maybe hit the spawn down south while on a road trip.

How did your Lake Winnipeg trip work out? All,the forum members that responded to your request on lures to use, are waiting for the walleye fillets to be shipped. I'm checking my mailbox every day? LOL

We use to always head to the keys during spring break. Stayed at a place called Checca Lodge, $$$$, but there only 4 days. There are some great charters both on the gulf side and Atlantic side. Make sure you try the stone crab claws..... You want to make sure you don't splash any of the meat up on your forehead...... Your tongue will slap your brains out trying to get to it!
