Do you love big bluegill?
Green Sunfish
This is my Green Sunfish that I caught last Tuesday evening in my pond in NC. It was about 7pm and the full moon was rising high in the sky. I think this fat monster was on the bed as "she" hit close to shore in shallow water on a bright yellow jig. I didn't have a scale but she measured 10.5 inches. I googled pics of the NC state record and my fish "looks" bigger....I released the fish, but now I know that when/if I catch her again, I will put her in a live well until I can have an official come out and weigh/measure her....I am so stoked to think that I may have a record fish in my pond. Maybe next summer she will be the record!!

Welcome Lori! I concur with the hybrid identification, but keep in mind...this is still a very special fish and a super accomplishment on your part. Also you deserve credit for the healthy release of the fish. Welcome to BBG!!! :-)

Thanks for the warm welcome you guys....and even though it is the biggest bluegill I've ever caught/seen, I am a bit disappointed that it won't be a record anytime soon since you all have ruled it is a hybrid.....The NC state record bluegill is 4 1/2 lbs., caught back in 1967.....I must admit that when I caught this fish that I was so not prepared to photograph or measure or anything, my hand is in the way when I took pics...ugghh...I feel so stupid. Anyway, thanks so much guys for the info. I look so forward to learning from this site. This is a private pond to the guy who asked and about 15 minutes after I released this bluegill, I caught a nice largemouth bass. I will post the picture in a bit.
