My apologies for my error in estimation. I had no intention of creating a 'fish story' or embellishing the size. I don't carry a tape measure and have nothing to gain by overestimating the size, it was a guess as I was typing and trying to recall how big it was from a year ago, but obviously I guessed wrong.
My main question in even taking the picture was that I had recalled folks on PB saying they make good bluegill food and I was trying to figure out how a bluegill could get this thing in its mouth even if it was 2" long.
I will try to be more exact with my estimates.
