I've never caught a biggie but have seen some way bigger than that.
swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

I caught a monster bluegill in a private lake that I released as I was 14 years old and did not want to get in trouble if caught! Hooked the 'gill on an 8" rubber worm while I was trying for large mouth bass. Pushing a foot long which seems far fetched but I bet it was very close! No cell phones for a quick photo back then as we still had a corded phone with a dial and it didn't reach!! Chris

Looks like a shellcracker Do y'all call big bluegills "shellcrackers"? That fish is not what we call a "shellcracker" around here. Shellcrackers are also called red-eared sunfish.

My brother caught one back in he 70s that is still the biggest I have ever seen even after dressing it for eating it was still bigger then the plate it was served on
Wish we had taken pictures of it because most just pass it off as fisherman tall talk but it’s straight fact
Caught on Orno lake in Elk River Mn 1977 they drained the lake a few years ago and have not been back since

LOL Art, if'n you caught that one out of that river there would be skid marks from your boots on that muddy shore. Those are some nice fish guys, I think a bluegill, pound for pound puts up as good of fight as any fish. Zim

Great pic Yotegitter. That looks like a fun day.
