Was out at a pond yesterday, going for Bass as ususal.......I saw what I thought was a solid 2-3 pounder, then as I got close I realized it was a Bluegill/Bream.....
I don't ever fish for them, only Bass, but see them near shore all the time. This was by FAR the biggest I've ever seen - I mean double or triple anything I've ever seen before....
It was not a crappie or anything else - saw it very clearly, and was the same regular type of bluegill/bream that I usually see at this and most other ponds I fish, but this thing was a freakin' GIANT!
How big can/do these get? I've read about something called "Georgia Giants" that are specially bred, but this pond hasn't been stocked with anything in nearly 20 years I believe......
I'm guessing this thing was 2 pounds or more - how unusual is that for a bluegill?
Thanks-
