My nephew caught this GIGANTIC Bluegill on a six inch swim worm in green pumpkin. I don't know what the state record is but I have NEVER seen a Bluegill that big. :o

Most states put a list of their record fish in their fishing regulation books. Might check it out. Fantastic catch!!

3 lb 8 oz is the state record. A lot of our state records come from waters in San Diego which is right next to Mexico. Really warm long growing season with lots of food. I wish So. Cal was different state because we just don't get the growing season like that up hear. It is a good one but not 12 months.
Not disclosing the location: :D
It was a small pond/lake not a big water (i.e. Clear Lake, Berryessa)

Could be a line record though.... Either way, it is a NICE fish!!!

20 lb braid on spinning tackle so I guessing not on the line record either.
I am still in shock that he caught it on a 6 inch swim worm :o
The fish was really obese it looked really prehistoric. Must have been a really old gill. I am guessing 10 + years but I really don't know the growth rates of a gill in our area.
