My son is doing the paperwork for a NH trophy. If its the largest bluegill entered this year he will get official recognition & a patch I think. As his fish weighs 20+% more than last years winner I think he's got a shot at it. 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.
