I just saw this on my FaceBook feed. Perhaps you have already seen it, but I thought many of you would like to see it. This is stuff of day dreams! The posting said it came in just under 4 lbs.

Welllll- you just might be right. I am suspicious of so much that is happening, it would not surprise me if this was but a scam. I did not have the time or means to do any "fact-checking". Either way, it is sure fun to think about landing such a nice catch!

As Fredfish said last night, this gill was caught near a nuclear facility he would think. I posted it yesterday and had some doubts myself but if true that’s a record that will stand forever. A monster indeed.

Did some checking on state record, it stands at 2.75 lbs, caught in 1983.
After looking at FB gill it is most likely a hybrid.

If you click my link above you will see that picture in fish stories all over the nation.
Which is the true story?

Bluegill hit like a thunderbolt, but they tire out and stop fighting quickly.
Wonder if the genetic engineers could make a strain that not only gets bigger, but has stamina as well as fight? What a game fish that'd be!
