Of all the fish in freshwater ecosystems, there are few as important as bluegills. Yes, this is a bold statement, but I say this because bluegills (other sunfish species) are the engines of many North American aquatic food webs. Think of how many zooplankton a bass would need to eat to get the energy found in one sunfish. You may have fished a bass pond without many forge fish (aka bluegills or some other small fish species) within it, and you’d likely caught larger bass that are stunted, skinny, and jaunty. Bluegill and sunfish serve as the much-needed bridge between zooplankton and larger fish in the aquatic food web.
