ewest, I know you're very precise, so I just wanted to confirm - that's a straight bluegill in your post (w/ the measuring tape)?
Just FYI, none of the bluegill from my pond really ever seem to look like anyone elses, and truly, I don't pay that much attention.
But because the days at my pond are running out for the season, I tend to think about all the things I want to do next year, and I've been meaning to fish specifically for bluegill for a few hours just to see how they're doing.
