10 5/8 inches

1 lb 6 oz.

I'm kicking myself for not taking a picture of the fish from the top. It was the thickest bluegill I've ever seen....but I guess I should just be happy I didn't mess up the photo. This is a photo I took of myself, so I'm slowly getting better at using my new camera.

He's definitely got a helmet started. Also I'm pretty sure it was an immature fish.


Holding a redear sunfish is like running with scissors.
