The Kentucky state record for Bluegill is four pounds and three ounces and that fish was actually caught in a strip mine lake in Hopkins County.
I checked that scales we were using and it was bit off and we are now thinking those two fish were right at two pounds or maybe a few ounces more.
Its not uncommon to catch sixteen inch crappie in this creek. My buddy caught a huge white crappie with a dark stripe between its eyes and down the length of its nose and its soon going to the taxidermist.
