I used to catch coppernose bluegill in Alabama. It wasn't unusual to catch one in the 1.25 lb. to 1.5 lb. category and every year you'd hear rumors of a 3 pounder being caught but I never saw one. Coppernose's seem to do well in ponds but it was rare to see one in the Coosa. I don't think they survive very well north of southern Tennessee.
