I have caught them as big as my hand when it is open and the fingers are held flat and together. I have big hands. About a pound I guess. Bluegill can approach 5 pounds in size,but that is rare.I know our record here in North Carolina is four pounds,fifteen ounces.Another sunfish,the redear,can also grow to four pounds.

The IGFA record is 4 pounds, 12 ounces. A five pound seven ounce fish was caught in 2003, but it was a bluegill/redear sunfish hybrid.
