Hi Joseph, it was caught out of a local pond close to my home in Troy, NY (Brunswick area) close to Albany, NY this past summer.

Would love to see the results of trophy size P-seed/Redear hybrids and BG/Redear, and BG/P-seed crosses!!!! Sounds like a terrific idea to me!!!!

You and Musky Mod have the best P-Seed pics I've ever seen. Unbelievable. I'm thinking of setting up P-Seeds/Redears to get a hybrid and also BG/Redear and BG/Seed hybrids in my reproduction ponds and can't wait to witness the results.

The pumpkinseed gets my vote for most beautiful panfish - this is a trophy!

Thanks guys for all the nice comments! It put up a tremendous fight and came close several times to hanging me up in the brushpile or breaking me off (lucky to have finally hauled him in!)
