A member of the sunfish family, the bluegill is one of the most popular freshwater game fish with anglers because of its tasty flesh and the fact that it puts up a pretty good fight for its size.
The average bluegill is about 8 inches long and weighs a pound or so, but some older fish grow to as much as a foot in length and more than 2 pounds in weight. The color varies considerably, from light to dark olive above and yellow or reddish below.
