A bluegill that has a standard weight of 1.5 pounds has a calculated length of 11.74 inches (or vice versa). Very impressive growth indeed for being 18 months old. Do you know if the hefty BG are 11" long or are they just fat 10"ers?.
Cecil - they do have some interesting stuff on that website. I should peruse it more frequently. Thanks for the work of posting those photos.

Cecil I don't know if AFS did that or not. I am not even sure that is a decision for AFS. I do know that there are writers on both sides of the issue each with ( appearing at least to me) having an agenda.

Thanks Cecil & Dr. James Wetzel!
Any idea if there are pictures with a male pumkinseed that was crossed with different females for comparison? I am curious how the sex of the parents may influence the outward appearence of the resulting hybrids.

Sounds like he has crossed a lot of things to see the outcome.
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Cecil, Can you ask Jim Wetzel if he is from Pittsburgh, PA? If so he knows me. We used to work together.

I may get to meet him in January. There is a seminar on biosecurity/VHS at his location in January. Hopefully I can get a peek at those big bluegills!  http://www.moaa.pond.org/2009meeting/2009meeting.htm

Bill,
Jim Whetzel is from southern Indiana and went to Purdue with our Aquamax man Dr. Mark Griffin. Maybe not the same guy?
