Insanely astonishing fish. Seriously.....world class.

I believe he hatched no earlier than 2005; I doubt any later than 2006.

He looks mad at being so big and fat.

Theo, any idea on that fish's age?   I know what the book says, but what kind of lifespan are you seeing from your Bluegill?

Awesome gill Theo!  Just looks like it would easily be over 2 pounds. Great fish none the less!

I moved him from my male-only Bluegill pond back to my Bluegill breeding pond to work on next year's spawn.

Unbelievable fish!

Very Nice!

Released to fight another day, or did it's destiny lie elsewhere?

I love it when the yankee gills can give the coppernoses a run for their money.........!
