Just tossing this in,a hybrid bluegill is a cross between a male bluegill and a female green sunfish.That being the case,why do I never catch a hybrid bluegill in the creeks and streams where both gills and green sunfish live.Of course I'm speculating that I haven't caught a hybrid,what say ye?

How big do the green sunfish get?
I love those thing. Very feisty fish. They are a thick string fish.
They have larger mouths and can take larger baits and lures.

I checked a state record website and each state record green sunfish is close to a pound or bigger. Some state's records are almost 2.5 pounds!

Wow that be a hawg!
Most I get are around the 6-7" mark but thick and heavy shouldered

Me too. It is hard to picture a 2 pound green sunfish. I also used to have a hard time picturing giant research and bluegill until I saw Sunny's pictures.

I can only imagine how the strike of a 2lb green sunfish would feel. Those little ones really smacked my jig.

I got a 8" last nite. My biggest

Just got back from a quick trip to the lake. Second cast, caught this Attachment 267829
those are 8" pliers. I guess we do have some nice size green sunfish in the lake :biggrin
