Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

These two Nebraska Sandhill giants were caught simultaneously and both weighed over two pounds. Both fish were released unharmed. One male and one female.

Males tend to have a larger gill flap than females, and they both look similar in that regard. Doesn't matter, either one is a fish of a lifetime!

You know, it's possible Jeff that the left one is a male. The person who provided the picture to me is a biologist, and I think he believed it to be a female. It is a scanned original photo, so the coloration is pretty deceptive.

Excellent! Looks like two males to me though.
