World Record Bluegill

[fishmounter]

Here's a photo of the 4 lb 12 oz. World Record Bluegill replica mount molded from the original skin mount from 1950! Pretty impressive sized 'Gill when you consider that a dollar bill is 6 inches long! I think there is a larger one in Lake Perris!

i think so too...i've caught some that just break off when i set the hook...the best fishing fish pound for pound

[Beeracuda211]

you guys should keep the smaller pan sized ones and release the toads so that one day there will be a record come out of there... ever thought about that? instead of keeping hundreds of them, let them get big and fat!! LOL

Beeracuda211 is 100% correct! We need to release all big Bluegills. In Perris I would say release all that are over 9 inches. I don't keep ANY large ones. Why do you think that Barrett has so many giants? Strickly C & R there! There might be a few in Perris that will be close to the WR, but I really don't think there's 100 that size. Remember this fish was caught there a few years ago...

it would be nice if everyone thinks that way but thats not reality...everyone is out to kill kill...not all fish caught are posted on here so about 90% of the fish caught goes under the radar :LOL:

Hey fishmounter do you have any mounts of the possible world record? According to some sources on the internet the Bluegill you have in your picture is indeed the world record, but there was a larger one(length wise) caught that wieghed less.

[fishmounter]

Hey Ifishtoolittle, That WR Bluegill is 15 inches long! Where on the internet did you find out that there is a longer one? I would like to find out more about that fish.

[GdHkSet1]

Man those are huge gills. What would be the approx age of these huge gills? My son and I caught some gills on CD5's near rockclimbers cove @ Perris

[Shyliners5]

Damn That's a HUGE bluegill. I released one over a decade ago that was over 12" at a private rock quarry fishing bass w/ a whole Jumbo nightcrawler.
That thing kicked my *** on 4lb.

I think beeracuda's got a point.
You see ppl loading up w/ buckets full!
There'd be alotta toad gills if they weren't so tasty.

Ok here's a link to the stuff I was talking about Fishmounter. The picutre is very small, but this would have been the world record.

This is the record red ear from Lake Cachuma. I had Lyon's and O'haver paint it in spawning colors. It weighed 4 pounds, 1 ounce.

[fishmounter]

Hey exfactor...Nice mount! This photo you posted is not in "spawning colors". You had it repainted in spawning colors right? When Redears go into the spawn, they get very yellow, especailly the males... Even brighter than this:

[exfactor]

Not true...they get dark like that so when they are in the shallows, they are harder to see. They tend to blend in with submerged branches, and when you spot one, there is usually a bunch more around. Water visibility has a lot to do with finding them, and when it's dirty, you have to guess. I drive away from them now when it's spawn time, as I have noticably decimated the population in all the years I've hit them during spawn time. The 10 incher's are easier to fillet as well.

now thats a fat one :LOL: cant wait to catch one in that weight class

[fishmounter]

I've actually caught them off of their nests and the females were yellow and FAT with eggs falling out. The males were even brighter yellow and would have white milt coming out. So go figure. I guess it depends on where you catch them, water temp, water color, etc. Down in the south they are yellowish when they spawn, but I've caught yellow spawners in Casitas too... I have caught some big ones while fishing crawdads for bass that were dark though, but these guys were from deep clear water.
