20150902- Personal Best!! 8.25" Green Sunfish
20150902-took the kayak out for a spin but wasn’t feeling 100% so I stayed close to the launch… very slow bite but ended up with a nice chunk Green sunfish at 92% Master Angler Rating of 8.25” on a YammaMinnow close to cover.

thanks Bruce...
really love these fish also... my son caught a couple 3-4 inchers at the park one day a few years back and we decided to add them as pets to a 70 gal aquarium all to themselves... after 2 years got them over 7 inches before letting them go... one of their favorite foods was a big fat nite crawler

BTW the two I took were pretty tight to the bank like yours . One took a small Jig Spin and the other a small spoon tipped with a piece of crawler . This was about 4 years ago .

thanks guys!
9" is the Master Angler target for these guys and 8.2" is now my personal best for this species. i used to catch alot of them fishing along the seawalls on Duck Lake as a kid tight to the bank... just like this one was caught shallow with a sandy bottom under a log tight to the bank.
