caught a 14" bluegill off a spawn bed in the spring in my grandmas pond, released it tho and didnt think to take pics. get quite a few 10-12 during spawning in that pond so really didnt think to take a pic

Caught a bluegill that measured 11.5" on the nose back in 1978 on Wheeler Lake in WI. After quickly measuring the fish, I released it. I have not broken 9.75" since, but do not fish water where larger fish exist because nobody seems to get any either and I have put my tape on a lot of 10-11" fish that suddenly got ruler-shrinkage.

As soon as I pop an 11" it will go on the wall, right next to the spot reserved for the elusive 12# Walleye.
