Top 75 bluegill average length 4.99 inches and 49.5 grams.
Next 75 bluegill average length 4.18 inches and 28 grams.
Some of the average fish that have been kept in tanks are ranging from 6-16 grams.
As noted in "Cecil Envy" post I'm thinking of adding a heater to the system to speed the growth. The only problem is that the flow-through aspect of the tanks is critical for me since I'm only there two or three times each week. The flow-through keeps the water fresh, but also limits how much I can heat the water. I could conceivably spend a bunch of money on electricity just to heat the water that's spilling out into the ponds. Not exactly a good use of resources.
Holding a redear sunfish is like running with scissors.
