Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

I was trying to get some fish photos today (didn't get any good ones), and as I was snapping one of them I thought that the bluegill looked pretty darn big. It's not a great photo, but those are regular leaves floating on the surface above it. Interested to hear what people think on the size of this fish.

Now if I can just get a better photo of him!  I'm having a new website made for my business so I'm trying to get some good shots for it.

Before reading the comments, I also thought it was a foot long. Two votes for "foot long monster" :)

That's a tough call. Without a reference it is difficult to judge size. Still, it sure appears to be a beast!

That's what I thought, Jeffrey.  I was actually trying to photograph another fish and this one came into the frame, and I remember thinking how big this one looked.
