Here's a picture of a Condello strain bluegill that isn't very big. As a matter of fact, he's kind of puny. Basically a piece of doo-doo.



Here's a picture of a CSBG that is about average. He's a lot like any bluegill that is 17 weeks old. He might actually be a good one someday. If every thing goes right for him, he'll exceed a pound and put up a good fight. The eye on this fish is the same size as the eye on the next fish. The rest of the body is much smaller. He weighs 12 grams.



Here's a picture of a CSBG that is top of the line. He's eating pellets like there's no tomorrow. He weighs close to 40 grams. That's big for that age fish. He represents the top 3 percent of fish from this spawn.



Here he is getting weighed in.



This one is a monster. He weighs in at a whopping 50 grams. He literally eats some of his brothers and sisters for lunch. He is top 1 percent or better. You couldn't pay me enough money to part with him. He lives in my Morton building. Look how teeny-tiny his eye is. Most fish this age have bigger eyes in relation to their body size. Since he's only 17 weeks, his eye can't keep up with his body.



The fish on the right is 66 weeks old. He is angry. He doesn't like the fact that he's being forced to pose with a 2-year-old fish. The one on the left is a good fish, but he's no bigger than the one-year-old on the right.



Holding a redear sunfish is like running with scissors.
