This is one of the world class Fliers that was sent to Tim Overbaugh this past Summer for an artist's touch....

They will be there for you next year that's always a plus. Good job considering the wind you had to contend with It's been windy here for ths last 2 days, today was much better.

YA KNOW JEFFREY the wide bands on this one are very different from a gill and the whole fish looks different , AND BEAUTIFUL OF COURSE!!!

OH YEA DICK , IT WAS FUN but the wind today was relentless and drove me to go home after only an hour or so at Kent's . Wind here today topped 35+ mph. and never stopped once. Doug Only fished for about 20 minutes and went home. I turned all the fish loose and still swimming as we speak, AND FELT REALLY GOOD ABOUT IT TOO!

Tooty it had to be fun to catch. Seems like them things seem to dig and turn. Looks to be a big Hen. Congrats

Thanks Rex, Dick and Federico......this one will end up as a tribute to a great  species of Sunfish.....I should be able to show it off early next year...
