I'm there Alpha. Right around 11" is my biggest ever. I used to fish with my grandpa, and that's all he would fish for. He was the only person who had permission to fish a 60-80 acre gravel quarry. We would use crickets and slip bobber and fish 15-20' deep, the water was very clear visibility was 12'+. My grandma said he caught a few that went 13". They had big black ears, and were a very dark bronze, and almost black, the most beautiful bluegill I had ever seen He would pick me up and we'd spend the day on his Tracker Boat. He'd give me a pinch of snuff and I'd be sick all day, I think he thought it was funny.
The owner and his kids lived hours away and they had no interest in fishing. They would just come out once a month on a weekend with jet skis, and ski boats to play and camp.
