    Default I caught my biggest bluegill ever...


    I didn't have my camera with me, and I wanted to get him back in the water as soon as possible, so I don't have any pictures.

    It hit one of my catfish nightcrawler rigs at about midnight. I had just caught an 18-inch channel, and I got that bluegill on there and said to my dad, "Oh yeah, this one is waaaay bigger." :D It just shows how hard bluegills fight for their size.

    I measured the dimensions and it was 10.5 inches long and 5.6 inches wide.

    How much would it have weighed?


    By the way, this is Lake Murvaul in East Texas, and the current bluegill record is 8.5 inches long. lol.

    Glad to hear of your great catch. I wish you had its weight and had it recorded. That may have been one of those once and a lifetime fish. Glad to hear you had your dad to share the experience with you.
