What size is a trophy bluegil

[theiceman]

Beautiful fish, I've got 11 and 11.25 mounted and my daughter got a 13 getting mounted.

[Far-I]

13! @%#E^#@%!

[vexi]

Thanks guys, if would have had the camera at the lake I would have taken pictures and released them but I did'nt. So in the freezer they went to get mounted. funny thing was I got one at 6:30 and the other at 7:00 well after dark.

Ya I thought she had bass. Biggest gill I've seen in person, and my daughter is 5.

13" is insane! i would like a 11" to mount..

[youngie22]

lookin for 12 here... I think I know where it might be, he just aint as hungry as his 10" siblings

[B-man715]

I'd like to see a pic of that 13" blugill laying on a tape....

Blackduck lake it's not uncommon to see gills pushing 2lbs.

Two 10+" bluegills in one night are definitely wall hangers in my book. You might consider mounting a couple smaller gills with them to really show how large a 10" gill is. Sort of a "school" mount. Congrats on a great night of fishing!

I make a few trips up to the duck every year and have never gotten one bigger than 12in on there. There are some real nice fish in that lake but not in big numbers. June and july are the good months for the bigger gills. Have had good luck in front of the resort on the hill ( white birch.) In the winter they are harder to come by usaly you will get a couple gills while fishing for the perch but not in the size and numbers that the open water season will produce. I personaly do not keep any gills bigger than 8in as theese fish are needed to help keep a lake healthy.

Beautiful fish Dtro...thanks for sharing the picture

Any blue gill over the 10.5 mark is a fun catch and a great fish.

DTRO that is a nice mount..

I have had two 14 inch crappies in my years.. I had no idea they were mount worthy... I have just seen'em mounted so much bigger then that !

Now I will probably never get one even close....

[JeffB]

Awsome mounts dtro, but that massive gill makes a huge crappie look small when you see it in a photo instead of in person. Nice fish.

[DTro]

Sorry guys, I can't take credit for those, I think the Crappie is Hanson's and the Gill is a friend or relative of his.

[nate larson]

Wow...that gill is a monster! Very nice looking mounts.

[jigginjim]

Nice mounts.

[blackdog1101]

Love that mount. Very nice!

[jeep guy]

I've got a 11.5" and a 12.25 headed to the taxi as soon as the checkbook allows. My dad ad I have a nice little honey hole that you can pull limits of 9.5 and 10's out. Wouldnt be surprised if there are a couple 13+ in there. I'm sort of spoiled on big gills after we found that lake but anything 10+ would make a nice mount.

[jeep guy]

theiceman what blackduck lake are you talking about?

[TravP]

A 12.25 gill. Whats that thing weigh?

[TurnUpTheFishing]

Ive only caught one 10"+ MN bluegill, CPRd. Biggest was a 11"+ I caught in Florida, I just wish I didnt look like a gomer in the picture so wouldnt be embarrassed to show other people

[jeep guy]

A 12.25 gill. Whats that thing weigh?

I'm not sure, I didnt have a scale but the thing was fat.
