Where you using a floating fly? I was just curious because I see you are using a spinning rod.

after a while i was using a floating fly. some of the fish were on spinning tackle. but the big girl was on the fly, and the only one that i caught on the fly that i took a pic of.

[carpmanjake]

nice fish, especially on the fly!

but those aren't green sunfish. some sort of hybrid perhaps, but green sunfish are streamlined and not in the round "dinnerplate" shape that you have there

i know, definately a mutt of panfish. but definately some green in her

went back to annie battle today, did well with crappies and sunnies on both ends despite the high winds

caught many crappies 12" and up, kept to for the GMA to eat, and we kept 3 limits of sunnies out of 5 people

I am going to have to agree with goblueM on the fish not being a green, I have been fishing gravel pits the last couple years and have never caught a round green sunfish. I think you have one heck of a nice Pumpkin.

Also green sunfish rarely get to that size, they usually over populate an area and become stunted, this one is a bigger one from one of the pits I fish.

Looks like you had a good day of fishing. Nice photos.

[carpmanjake]

[roughfish29]

northern wisconsin rockie

Looks like the special regs on Annie Battle are paying off in nice sunfish and crappies.

That breed of sunfish goes by two names in my part of the country. A shellcracker or more commonly known as a redear. notice the red patch on its gill. They tend to grow a bit larger than regular sunnies.

the ear is much like a redears. but it cannot be a redear. there isnt a population of redear in annie battle, plus, minnesota is not part of the redear sunfish's range.

not to mention redear are more bluegill colored. the mouth is also way to large to be a redear

[Indyfishing]

A quick internet search had several different variations of redear sunfish. Some looked alot like yours and some not at all. The natural range does not include your area but there are successful hybrid stockings reported as far as northern Michigan. There is alot of cross breeding with this species due to the same breeding habits of other sunfish.

I will just call it a nice sunnie

Keep reeling them in Jake!

My friends were up from Iowa, so we went out at USCG max capacity in my 16' Lund. Exciting to say the least, but we had a blast catching sunnies. Here's one of the many triples (she wasn't fishing, I was trying to keep us above water).

One solid 10', but the Capt' wasn't as good a cameraman as he was at keeping us afloat, so no pic worth posting, just looks like the rest of 'em

[SunneyeDay]

Here it is anyways- she wasn't fishing but my friend let his gf reel it in- aren't couples grand?

10'

[mrklean]

nice looking fish

[jwhjr]

A couple of cell phone pictures of a nice metro one I picked up today. It's right about at 10" It's back swimming to hopefully produce some more that size

[SunneyeDay]

Nice- that thing looks THICK!

How about the color variation on the '10s-

We were fishing a big, deep, clear watered northern lake- and get those pinks, yellows, and light greens, (this one came from the depths too)...

I'm guessing you're in a muddier darker lake?

[jwhjr]

It's actually a very clear lake. I was fishing for bass in the pads and pulled it in.

[SunneyeDay]

? Maybe its the shallow/ deep thing then ?

[riversmallmouth35]

Here are a couple of sunnies I got off of the weedline. I was using a "tiny worm" body on a collarless jig head. The first picture is of a 10 incher and the next is a hair under 10. Sorry for the bad pics. It is hard taking a picture of yourself on your phone.

[upnorthozzy]

11.25 inch female and 10.25 inch male. He He He

[jerkin'm]

Here are a couple of the kids from last weekend...the bigger one is a hair over 9"... http://

[carpmanjake]
