Here's the first decent photo out there of Lincoln, Nebraska dentist Bruce Condello with a 3 lb., 1 oz. bluegill caught two weeks ago at Richmond Mill Lake in North Carolina.  The fish took a 1/16 oz. Road Runner, with a black body and green tail.  The fish was released and still swims...ready to be captured again.  A story will be published in Pond Boss magazine in the coming months.

Beautiful,, And very respectful release. I have to tip my hat to you on that because i doubt i could do the same, I always said id mount my first 2lbr well i caught and release it, Now im looking for an almost impossible 3lbr to mount..
