Respectable Fish [picture]
 

Well, this is one of my largest Bluegill to date. I catch some solid 9 inch fish but tough to break that 10 inch mark. The other day I iced this 10.25, gorgeous fish too.

Is that actually a bluegill ..I see the blue gill but the rest of the fish does not look like our locals.
Nice fish.

Here's our Florida bluegills

Nice size gill, Good work.

Here is a limit of Michigan Bluegils. Very large range of colors.

YUM YUM YUM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!They look very nice {-;

Very tasty and a riot to catch.

How large were those Bluegills in the picture you posted?

I see many 9+ inchers a year.
About one 10+ incher a year.
Never have yet to see a purebread 11incher.

The ones in a different post..the 50 my son and I caught?

Smalles was 9 1/2

As far as the ones from the net on this thread..that was a copy and paste..I do have bigger ones saved but I didn't want to steal your thunder { -;..your my brother in the Lord.

I don't have anything much bigger..nothing over 11 1/2 ..my son has one pic of a 12 inch red earred. I used to live up north..your gills are sweeter up there..and a 10 incher up there may be considered to mount..that's a big one for sure.

No worry about stealing thunder... I am looking for a 6.5 pound largemouth, you are looking for a 10 pounder. I can take an inch and a half of heat on a Bluegill from two different sides of North America :)

Some good 'ol Alabama bream
