Around here in the Magic Valley area of Idaho they go around 6".

About the same here. We have a lake in NE utah that holds some toads but they are a long drive. I usually get some 6 to 7" fish a little closer.:sunglasses:

Pelican Lake right, 7 hrs from here.

depends on which lake we have alot of lakes herein michigan some produce all little ones others have ahistory of big gills if you fish the better lakes 7-10 is normal mostly 7 to 8 with afew 9to 10s mixed in a days catch

Here in west IL. we have a local canal where 6" is normal. There is a strip pit in the area where I get up to 10" but I can’t tell where it is. When I go alone, I blindfold myself so I can’t tell where it is. lol
I hear lots of reports of 1 pound bluegill, but they usually shrink a lot when I go along. lol
There are a few pictures of the size gills I and my grandsons get on good days in my gallery. Illinoisgiller

At twin lakes, or Condie, Preston Idaho area I keep them if they are the size of my hand or larger. Twin lakes can have some really big ones at times.
