Didn't know where else to post this but awhile back I found this site with excellent native (and some non-native) fish pictures.

Here is another site, it's mostly underwater photographs of game fish. Not something you really see to often. beautiful photographs.

Some one gave me a free 75 gal tank, i am thinking about doing a tank with 2 bluegill and possably a bullhead, I had forgotten how impressive a full sized bluegill can be, i miss my old bluegill, found most of him floating dead in my dads pond a few days after i put him in there. I think a cat or something made a grab for him, he would come right up to the top when ever anyone came by.

I can relate with what your saying. For me, finding a full sized bluegill isen't very common. The largest I catch are maybe 5" on average but once in awhile I catch a full sized fish and I'm always in awe when I do. Those sites have great pictures of full sized bluegills.

They are so much fun on ultralight, and have such awsome coloration during breeding season.

You should try them on a fly rod! They feel like marlin!

have you ever tied 2 popping bugs on? big fun, I even made some homemade bream bugs out of horse hair that i put this floating gel stuff on, when i pulled it the fly would submurge, it floated to the top when i let it sit, it was murder on them. throw it along a bank, pull it a little and let it float up, then WHAM, big fun

I usually find them in small farm ponds, mostly within the National Forest we have here. They are in the lakes as well but not nearly as common as pumpkinseeds. Those are some impressive fish when they reach about max size.
