The last answer was horrible. Yes largemouth eat bluegill. I was fishing earlier today in an acre and a half pond. My bait of choice was a 3-4 inch bluegill. I let the bluegill swim 3-6 feet from the shore, after about 10 minutes a largemouth approx. 22 inches started circling the bluegill like a shark. The bass continued to circle not even paying attention to 3 humans standing on the bank. We he was convinced the meal was good he sucked the bluegill in his mouth. I've never seen anything like it.
