What did you use to weigh it?

I have a Berkley Digital hand held scale.

Nice gill Crazy Joe! What kinda of bait/lure were you using? How deep?

And it's accurate for fish that size? I'm asking because there was a recent thread discussing what scales would be accurate for gill-sized fish.

Very Nice !!!

It's pretty accurate.I have weighed fish at Ice derby than wieghed the on a cretified scale.My scale was under by about a tenth oz.
I was using a Charture orange Marmuska jig with 2 spikes.a 3" Ice Stick with a Dave Gentz 5 bearing reel with 4lb Berkley Ice Line (clear) :D

I just ordered a Berkley scale a couple days ago. Berkley FS15 digital tournament scale, Accurate within +or- 1/4 oz. I doubt I'll be able to hold it all that still, but pretty accurate. $30.00 range Mike

That's a nice one there!

I've been told the best way to catch 1lb. bluegills is to never weigh them!

It's hard to find them that big up here.I though it was a pretty decent fish.I didn't post it to become a pissing contest.Maybe some of you are scale experts and some of you can catch bigger ones.More power to you.I 'm not posting to be in competion with anyone ! :rolleyes:

I appreciate your sharing your catch Joe. There was a discussion a little earlier about finding a scale that could accurately weigh these little scrapers.
Unfortunately, it got carried over to your post. I found the scale I was looking for, but won't make my fishing any more enjoyable ,just satisfy my curiousity.
I think there is a genuine interest in finding that somewhat majical 1 pound gill.
Thanks again for sharing the picture Joe.I hope to share a few this season. ole mike

Yeah, Joe, I wasn't trying to give you a hard time. I'm just genuinely interested in finding an accurate scale.

My "hand held" digital scale is off by 1 tenth of an ounce.So if it reads a pound it's actually a pound and 1/10 of an ounce. By what it weighs on the "hand held" and than putting the fish on a MA cretifired scale. Also I guess some Digital scales are ajdustable ,so you can zero them out. Mine ani't that fancy! LOL :D

nice fish crazy joe.isn't every fish we catch that big?:D :D :D :D :D

Thats a nice 1lb+ gill good ice catch!!! thanks for the photo. I would take a bucket full of them any day.

Thanks
