Big little fish

Something kind of cool to share. This was back in February, I hooked into a giant little fish on Fayette. Caught this bluegill on a lipless crankbait. This little guy had 2 hooks in his mouth....he wanted that bait lol.
Anyway my buddy kept saying it was crazy big and had to be a record. So he looks it up and come to find out it is. He stayed on my hiney all morning to get it certified. Decided to go get it certified when I got back to Houston area.

Weight 1.71lbs
Length 10 3/4 inches
Girth 14 3/4

Got my certificates in the mail and will be in the Texas Parks and Wildlife record books till someone beats it.
Pretty cool little ordeal

And of coarse I caught a lake record on one of my Poor Boy Customs rods lol

One "Monster Bluegill"! Huge CONGRATULATIONS on your record fish!

Bet it put up a good fight!

Unbelievable ! What a giant...I saw the record, but getting to see the actual fish is a real treat...Thanks...

Good grief ! It looks like a native bluegill too.

Fayette continues to amaze with her perch treasures.

Congrats katjim !!
