[QUOTE="RUGER, post: 5322057, member: 275"] In one of the private ponds I fish in quite often I have noticed something that I find odd. Might be normal but I haven't noticed it anywhere else I fish. I'm not talking about ALL here, just the largest of the ones I catch. The females are usually larger (longer) than the males. These are all true bluegills, no coppernose or anything like that involved. I have caught three TARP bluegill out of this pond in the last two years. Last year I caught two in three days and they were both females and both exactly 10" long. I caught another one this week and she was 10 1/4" long. There is no telling how many males I have caught that are from 9 1/2" and 9 3/4". Never caught one longer than 9 3/4. Is it normal for the older, larger females to be longer than the males that are, I assume, the same age? [/QUOTE]
