Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

I caught this sunfish on a 6" Senko while bass fishing. It just attacked the bait! Any guesses as to it's genetics?

I'd say a green sunfish/bluegill hybrid of some sort.

I'd second that!
Indeed...looks to be the BG/GSF hybrid...both likely males. How big were they?
Right about 10". I went back with ultra light gear and caught some more like this but a little bit smaller.

Still looking for a !0" pure bluegill. That's tough around here.
