Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

If you've ever read Bruce Condello stating that Male-only BG make a great bonus fish in non-BG ponds, believe it. This 9.5 Inch Male is one of 15 I placed in my SMB/YP/RES pond last year. He's doing great!

I'm going with 22 ounces.

Guesstimate a weight, Bruce - I didn't get a chance to weigh it.

It is in a food rich environment - 1/2 acre with only another 17 BG and 29 RES competing for Lepomis resources, with pellets 6 days a week, and about 40 million Gambusia to snack on.

Is it me...or does that fish have a double helmet? Holy smokes! That thing is in stupendous body condition!!!!
