...and they'd charge you $2K, and if you didn't beat the old record by two full ounces they'd let the old one stand.

Good question. I think if I ever broke the record, I wouldn't be able to turn it in anyway. Too many people would suspect I dragged it here from North Carolina!

2-12
It's a great fish. Definitely a legitimate, purebred bluegill. I've seen pictures of this fish, and many other two pounders that came from the same waters.
I have to question many of the records of 4 pound plus fish. Most photographic evidence suggests RES, or BG X RES hybrids.

That's an excellent point Bruce. Was it a recent striper record breaker that basically went into hiding to avoid the media attention it brought? I read that the previous record holder was basically over scrutinized by the public,questioning almost violently the validity of his catch. Personally if I were ever to be so fortunate to land a record fish I think I would do the same and keep it to myself. I would take my pictures, share the measurements with people I trusted and avoid the attacks that seem to follow these sort of accomplishments these days.

The 2-12 is 6 ozs bigger than Oklahoma! I have something to thrive for when I get out of school.
That's just like they reopened hunting of gray wolves. That guy got some much hate mail for shooting the first one.

Bruce I think you'll beat a record some day, I've never seen a guy consistently catch hogs like you.. Best of luck to you and make sure the forum is first to know..

The forum will be the first to know, but I'm extremely unlikely to try to enter the record books, should I ever catch a bluegill that's 2-12 here in Nebraska. My biggest so far in Nebraska is 2-1, at my own pond.

I'm always curious as to what the different states allow, and what they will not permit.
In Indiana, there is no distinction made between BG and HBG, but fish that are on artificial feeding programs are not eligible for state record entry.
"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1) And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1) Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT? PB answer: It depends.

That's downright silly.
Don't feed him pellets..but we don't really care about the species.
Hmmmm.

I'm thinking that if you want to set the Indiana state record smallmouth, you should just catch a really nice largemouth bass and submit that one.
Probably get approved.

Tell me about it. I believe Cecil might've had some experience in the area of yellow perch and a feeding program??? I really don't know how to ascertain what the Indiana record BG truly was, at this point. I guess I am just taking the state's word on faith.....

TP&W certified private water Texas state record BG is 3.25lbs. That one makes perfect sense. Three pound, four ounce bluegill out of Texas is massive, but at least it's in the realm of reality.
