Michael Caserman caught this 4 pounds 13 ounces, Bluegill on Lake Havasu on June 6. The 16-inches fish was caught around 11 a.m. on McCoy fishing line using 12-pound test with bait. Caserman suggests Havasu anglers fish early in the morning or at night around dusk, around shallow embankments.

The scale pattern looks somewhat like a bluegill-redear cross...

I agree with Tim - the yellow-tinged fins make it almost certainly a shellcracker. If it were a bluegill it would be the new world record, though it might just be a tie as I seem to remember a new record has to be two ounces larger?

Had to put on the glove to hold that one up, wow.
I believe that's a shellcracker.
