OLD OLD OLD picture! But still my biggest gill to date. If I remember right it was like 11 3/4" and just a few ounces shy of 2 pounds. Caught on hackberry lake on the valentine refuge.

Here's my Dad with a pretty nice one.

It's a bluegill/redear hybrid

My Best this year (SO FAR).

Here is an older one I caught while targeting LMB, just a hair shy of 11".

I think they take 'Gills like this and make those square fish patties.

That BG was just shy of 10-1/2" long and really thick. He weighed in at about 1 pound-7 ounces. It looks to be a true BG too, no hybrid.

Frosch · 09-05-2008, 03:46 PM

Hav2 that an awesome gill!
Here is a 10.25 from this spring.

**MA Machine** · 12-18-2008, 10:54 AM

Some winter gills

OldBaldGuy · 12-18-2008, 01:14 PM

You know, what's interesting to me about your pictures, MA (besides the obvious nice size of those three, of course), is how they lack the "foreheads" usually seen on mature gills that size. Makes you wonder how big that population can get if they haven't grown a "forehead" yet.
