i caught this pig a few nights ago out of a friends farm pond. it was 11.75". didnt get a weight. i had it out of the water long enough just to get a couple pics. my youngest daughter caught 1 just a bit smaller. both were released to be caught another day. ive also caught many 14-15" crappie in this pond too. just thought i would share.

Wow. That's one fat pig of a gill there Cody!
Nice job!

For sure a big ole fat gill.I would have liked to known the weight also.
Almost 12" & that fat,sure would have been a nice weight to see on any scale.
WTG!
Nice gil ! thanks for sharing !
that is the fatest gill i have ever seen.congrats
That sure is a beauty,what did you catch it on?My biggest is around 10".
they must have alot to eat in that pond, I never caught one that fat.
The orange colored fins has me thinking Georgia Giants.
Looks like it swallored a baseball.. nice gill:D
Nice Gill, Cody!!! Way to go!!!

That is a monster, a gill like that deserves to be released. Have always wondered what the life span for a gill that size is.

Thats a special pond you have there..... Congrats.
COULD BE A HYBRID CROSS, MAYBE BLUEGILL/ GREEN SUNFISH ?:confused:
That's a freak of nature right there. It's exciting having a place to fish like that.
Congrats.

Those are them Iowa farm raised corn grown gills... very very big. Used to fish one of my dads co-workers farm ponds up in the Quad City area there... gills in his pond where longer then paper plates were wide.
Some of the biggest and best tasting fillets you ever ate. Miss Iowa fishing sometimes.
Nice fish!!! Reminds of a pond I used to fish when I was in high school, we were only allowed to use a fly rod and we couldn't keep the gills but every one we caught was that size. Thanks for sharing.
where was that buddies pond at
Not a redear Redear Sunfish Fish IdentificationQuote:

CHECK THIS SITE I still think it's a hybrid
Midwest crappie has a pond fishing show that russ taped in indiana with Charlie Hilbreth about these georgia hybrids (indicated by the orange-edged fins).
I don't think Russ and Charlie caught anything that big though.
That's the biggest gill I've ever seen!!
Makes me wanna go dig a pond...lol
Thats a big ol fat one. Congrats.
Congrats, nice fish, I'm envious (actually it makes me wanna go fishin).
thats a nice fish , i will put up a pic of my shellcracker 15 1/2 incher.he is in my belly now.Quote:
