Although it doesn't look like it in the pic, it measure exactly 9.25". Biggest bluegill I've caught. Out on Geneva through the ice. There's lots of bigguns out there!

For crappie, we used to catch them up to 14" on the Chain almost regularly! This year I heard of a 16.5"er outta Marie. Perch, gotten them up to 14" on the big lake.
