This weekend I caught my personal best Blue Gill. Although i didn't have a tape measure handy so i'm not sure of it's actual size. It was bigger then what i could hold in one hand. I had to hold it by the lip, like a bass.

How big can blue gills get? What are your best size pan fish?

The water was pretty clear I thought. Most of the little ones I was catching had very bright vibrant colors. This one was definitely darker. The picture was also taken about 8:30 pm which makes it look even darker.

That is a very nice gill - My biggest was caught ice fishing a cow pond a few years back - It was just over 10 inch and caught on a wax worm.
Several years ago I was bass fishing Jackson lake with a friend when he caught a gill just shy of 11 inches on a crank bait.

Very nice gills KPenny and the rest of you. Here is a freak that my uncle caught in Mississippi a few years ago. That is a 5 gallon bucket he is laying on. Looks like Darth Vader.

That is not a bluegill. Those are called "camels". That my friend is a true double humper!
