What's considered big in your next of the woods for bluegills?
Here's my PB I got her on Saturday.
Small but Big! Almost lost my rod to this guy. I was dead sticking and leaning my rod against the gunnel. He had the rod tip in the water and the butt of the rod was at the 1 o'clock in the air.

Certainly some hawgs
Very nice and congrats on the PB!
I’d be the guy dancing in the boat. Very nice fish. I’m sure my PB weighed about half of that.
That’s one nice fish. Congratulations on your new PB. :ThumbsUp
I’d call that a biggen! Congrats !
Wow! That’s as big as a dinner plate! Congrats on a PB!

whale alert ! KABOOM .....:highfive
So what is considered big in your neck of the woods?
In TN a 10 inch bluegill is a trophy. Over the past 15 years or so the odds of getting a 10 inch bluegill have gone way down. A nine inch fish used to be just everyday. Nowadays it is an 7-8 inch fish that is everyday.

Did you measure that one? Looks like at least 11 ". Here in Missouri my biggest was 10.5" and weighed 1-05 but that was about 25 years ago. Been a long time since I hit the 10" mark. Occasionally I get a couple that will be over 9". Your fish is the biggest northern strain gill that I've seen in awhile. I did catch a 12" Coppernose in California a few years back. Congrats on your PB.
9 inch and up are big bluegill here , hard to find though , our native bluegill never really get big , but them coppernose and hybrids of them get large in these partsQuote:

This old photo was found in a old HTC phone. Caught in year 2016 before my slow collection of true JDM ultralight gears. That was my PB bluegill then and still is...8"ish! Since then 5 to 6 turn up regularly.Quote:
