alot of these are over 8" fish but they didn't come from rough.. http://s219.photobucket.com/albums/c...=fishin199.jpg
I have caught bluegill in rough that were all i can do to get my hand around them to get the hook out . I caught one last year that was 10 1/2" while crappie fishing. I let it go because it was a female. bluegills over 7" is pretty big.
