    From the Secret Life of a Bream Specialist by A.J. McClane.

    "It would require supernatural aid to sing the praises of a fish whose rustic charm far exceeds his capacity for prolonged struggle. But when caught on very light tackle, there is a patent of nobility about the bream".

    ".......try sight casting to one or two pound bluegill in a clear spring pond with a two-weight rod, 13 ft. 7x leader and #18 scuds. I did recently and had a harder time with these small permits than any four pound rainbow or brown. I sight cast to 18 or 20 bluegills, spooked all but six... and landed two pug-faced fish in the pound-plus class."
