According to Moon Outdoor's "Oregon Fishing", the state record 'gill is 2 pounds and 5.5 ounces. It was caught in a farm pond, in 1981, by Wayne Elmore.
I wonder if yours was bigger?
If it was bigger (or even close to it)...I'd make more trips to that same place if I were you. You might get your name on the record books!

Did you measure it? Doesn't really matter anyway. What matters is the smile on the face.

I think that a trout that length is around a pound. A gill that is probably similar. A gill isn't as fat in the belly, but it's taller from belly to dorsal.

That makes sense. I just remember it looking freakishly big. Sorry for the hijack.

Thats a nice one. I used to live on a private lake stocked with Florida strain large mouth and massive blue gill. They averaged 8 inches and got up over a foot long! Lots of fun on a fly rod. Good job!

If it doesn't fit in a pan, can you still call it a panfish?
