I caught a 14 + inch Bluegill from the W.K. Kellogg Bird sanctuary outside of Battle Creek Michigan. Had to spud a second hole next to the one I had the fish hooked in and then join the holes to get it out ! They only let Scout troops fish there in the Winter time thru the Ice.
When I worked at a factory back in the 80s a man named Phil Conyers caught a bluegill that weighed a little over 4lbs. That bluegill was black and round like a skillet. I believe it is still the Kentucky state record.
