bluegill size

[Nathansdad]

C & R'd a 10 1/2" bluegill last weekend. Is this big enough to justify getting a replica made? What would a 10 1/2" bluegill be in the walleye world? 10lbs. or am I pushing it?

Nah, you're about right. I'd say 10.5 inch bluegill is ~ 28-30 inch walleye in this day in age.

This is an awesome fish. Certainly something to be proud of.

depends who you talk to, I would say no. Because this year has been one of the best fishing years I had. Caught over 30 walleyes over 25", 3-30"eyes. And I can't count how many sun fish from 9"-11" this year so far. I can't wait until it gets to prime time fishing.

id say just a bit bigger i know lots of lakes where you can pull out 10 inch sunfish to me id say 11 and a quater and over would be something id mount. But its all in the eyes of the beholder! Either way its still a nice fish

I'd go by weight, anything over a pound is pretty solid if you ask me.

I fish alot of big gill water and have buddies that fish all over the state specifically for trophy gills and I've seen maybe 3 honest 11 inchers, so good luck with that but an honest 11 is a giant.

I'm sure there are lakes out there though you can have a good chance at one, we just haven't found it yet.
