14.0" / 3.0 lb. Bluegill caught by Jason Cavin on Thursday July 03, 2008 at 14:10 near Potterville in Eaton County, Michigan (MI), United States North America using a Berkley Power Bait 7" Pumpkin Seed Worm a Worm

I was fishing with my two sons at a friends pond. We were all fishing for largemouth bass with different types of artificial lures. I had just put on a Berkley power worm with a 1/4 ounce bullet weight to get to the bottom to slow role for bass. I caught this monster bluegill on the first cast....he measured 14" and weighed just under 3lbs. I've included a piture of my oldest son Collin holding the fish. I'm having him mounted by a friend in Michigan......my boys want to put it in their room.
