Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

I caught some remarkable fish out of the unmanaged, and unfed pond this week. But this one, a HBG caught from one of our ponds tonight, made me proud.

It was stocked this spring at a 4" length, and it's now 8" and 10.4 ozs. That gives it a relative weight of over 155%!

That's what I'm talkin' bout!

Jim, I've searched high and low for a HBG specific Wr chart, to no avail. There's just not a lot out there regarding top end for these fish.

I can provide you the stats for a comparable BG though. I don't feel too bad using this chart.....after all, the general concensus is that a BG will outgrow a HBG, all being equal.

12" BG........standard weight of 25.7 ozs

12.5" BG....standard weight of  29.6 ozs

13" BG....standard weight of 33.6 ozs.

Hope this helps.

Absolutely super fish Tony. I wonder what that one will top-out at?

Do you have a WR chart on hybrids? And, if so, I was wondering if there are any stats on hybs from 12 to 12.75 inch range.
