I tried to track down the biggest bluegill in the tank today. My tank bluegill are 31 weeks old. The largest one I could find weighs 66 grams. This was before feeding. For perspective, two ounces is about 56 grams. There really isn't a lot of length increase going on. This fish was still 5.25 inches (actually 134 mm). I'm embarrassed to admit that I've lost my Wr table so I'll have to check with Dave Willis or Bill Cody sometime.

I also had the following two bluegill.

118 mm @ 48 g
116 mm @ 48 g

(edited post, I had to correct my data--sorry)


Holding a redear sunfish is like running with scissors.
