We had to get an official, certified scale, weight and the Wineing Butcher helped us out with weighing it and giving us the print out, 1.43 pounds!
Either way a NH F&G biologist will render a species identification from our measurement snapshot. It does have a yellowish throat so maybe they have bluegill subdivisions but its a 'gill.
My son just got a letter from F&G telling him his Bluegill (see photo in this thread) was the largest one registered last year in the state. 11.00", 1.43 lbs.
He will be getting a certificate for this as well.
