I just joined this site and happened to see that you stated the iowa state record bluegill size. I live in Cedar Rapids just nice to see another member from Iowa. Nice pics and congrats on your largest catch gives me something to work towards. I caught a 9" gill about 2 weeks ago but it was only 7.3 ounces nothing like the slabs in your pics.

Thank You Chris, I think this web site is the Best!!! I enjoy bluegill fishing and have 3 children that enjoy it as much as I do.

I've got UNC in my office pool. If they win it all it will keep me from finishing last.
