Doubtful. 

Hey Taxi...I checked out those 2 yahoos over on a couple of more local Colorado websites, and they posted the same exact lame photos they posted on IS and here, never once showing a bluegill next to a tape measure and always claiming the monster bluegills.  The people over there on those sites don't believe half the crap they sling either, and one of them got banned for all his talk about "uprising" against any authority whatsoever.

Funny thing about those 2 is that they always claimed the other one of them measured the fish to verify, but for some reason they could never get a tape and a fish in the same pic...strange....Esox

9" 

[pike hound]

12" ,1 lb. 8 oz. Actually it's a redear caught on a crankbait bass fishing. It's the only gill i've been able to lip. It was the fifth largest reported from Michigan in 2004. It was caught from Baw Beese lake, Michigan a lake which produces a handful of 12" gills and redears each year. Anyways here's the pic of the mount and certificate

I have a pond that regularly produces 10+ fish, but I have yet to get any over 11 inches.  I figure they have to be in there somewhere, I'll just keep trying!

Very nice fish Pikehound!

Here in Ontario , our bluegill don't grow to those extremes( i wish they did)
The spot i have has produced one 10.5" , but that is about as big as they get.
We averaged 8"  the other day. Nobody ever fishes for them here. I would love to break the 11" mark , but for now 10.5" will do.
Here's a few from the other day.....
My GF with a nice 8"

Me with a baby...just a cool pic

Not very big , but fun to catch!

a buddy of mine had the same disease.  he was claiming to be catching limits of 15" crappies, so he took me there.  in the 3 times i went we didn't get any over 11", but funny, every time he went, limits of monsters!!! and he always forgot the camera, the batteries were dead, etc...

My biggest is about 11 inches out of one of my ponds.

Feast your eyes on this one. It's a bluegill (not hybrid) from a fellow pond meister dentist in Nebraska that as a hobby is selectively breeding bluegills for fast growth. His goal is to grow 2 lb. bluegills. I'm excited to get some of his stock to start my own broodstock for two of my fish ponds.  Notice how much faster the body is growing vs. the head and fins that are normal size.





This one floated up in my pond the other day. Only 9.5 inches in length but it weighed  1 lb. 1/2 oz. on my certified scale.  I have two groups of gills in this pond. Stunted fish that are not pellet fed and pellet fed glls that are quite husky.
