Gr8 report Walt - WTG! Beast of a fish. Did they get a girth measurement?
those sure are some monsters...the only blue-gill i have ever caught that even remotely resembles them was one i caught when i was about 12 years old , fishing a private pond , on a johnson spoon......those fish are what i am searching for these days, a monster like that on a little bitty rod and reel would be a real battle i would never forget............and i was bass fishing , if i remember correctly the spoon was a johnson sprite , fairly big and all silver.......there was another spoon we use to use on the creeks back then , it was red with a white stripe on it ( i think it was white ) , but it was much smaller than the johnson spoon.
I bet that blue gill girl would have been 3 ounces heavier come the spring run prespawn or for sure close to it .
what a ridiculous large bluegill , very nice and congrats to all involved:highfive
I remember being laughed off a forum years ago because I told a story about a 4 inch thick crappie ,who wants to take a bet on if they get that thick.
:cheers2
