Biggest Bluegill I every caught..4/23/2016@ Fork

Fishing for crappie with minnows at Fork in about 10 feet off a brushpile,..
almost jerked the rod outta my hand,..10 inches, 3/4 pound..!!!

That's what I call a giant. Congrats.

Congratulations. That is a real trophy.

Awesome Fish and a Trophy for sure! Good job!




Side Note: If you got a picture of the fishes length,along with the one of you holding the fish providing you released the fish you could apply for the Lake Fork Catch&Release Record Bluegill. Either way still a GREAT FISH!

b-a f, never thought about it, all I thought about was posting it on the Bluegill/Sunfish page,..LOL,
I thought the Fork record was 1.61..

The current Fork record Bluegill is a weight record only. Parks&Wildlife also have the Catch&Release Records. Minimum length for a Bluegill to qualify is 10". Fork does not have a Catch&Release Record Bluegill. There is a length chart on the Parks&Wildlife web site showing the minimum lengths of the different species of fish that qualify for Catch&Release records.

Used to catch em that big a lot at Fork. I would go with my wife's granddaddy and nothing for us to catch 150 or 200 in a trip. He called them "knee bream" because he would have to lay them on his knee to get the hook out. So congrats on your knee bream sir.

Nice Slab!

Monster Gill! Good job.
