It happens! I caught a bluegill out of Jerry Creek Reservoir this year that was at least 12 inches. State record is 11.5. Master Angler is 10". It is catch and release and I didnt have my camera. I went up the following weekend and caught other nice bluegill and did have my camera but it was nothing like the other one! Here is a pic of the second one. I caught it with a small crayfish crankbait.
