Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Question about raising bluegills

Bruce, The Sept 10th Bgill is an excellent specimen, a real dandy fish. However, what features on it make you think it is immature? It has some dark, although not distinct tipping of nape scales, a prominent dark soft dorsal spot, good mature male coloration. If the fish is 4 or 5 yrs old then definately you can expect some more growth over the next few years. Do you think this fish has similar sized siblings or is he leader of the pack?
