I wouldn't be angry if I caught this fish.   This is personally my dream fish of any species.  Take a look.

The fish on the bottom is the new world record caught May 2nd, down on Lake Havasu (spelling)  The top one, I'm not sure where that is from.  But man, what a crazy fish.

It would look like a 10 pound 8 ounce bluegill, If I was taking the pictures.

Amos Gay....is that really the previous record holders name.  According to the text beside picture 4 of 11 on the link, that is his name.  I can just picture this guy introducing himself with an South Carolina accent "Hi, I'm Amos Gay", to which most people would respond "how are you almost gay?"!

You can't afford not to go fishing.

This fish are some awesome creatures.  That is a good question as to, how old these fish are.  I know around here it is estimated that for each ench a bluegill grows that is one year. So for example to slow people like Jig-em, an 8 inch bluegill would be 8 years old.  This is just a simple rule of thumb I've read about.  Maybe the fish are about 20 years old...
