Green Sunfish
This is my Green Sunfish that I caught last Tuesday evening in my pond in NC. It was about 7pm and the full moon was rising high in the sky. I think this fat monster was on the bed as "she" hit close to shore in shallow water on a bright yellow jig. I didn't have a scale but she measured 10.5 inches. I googled pics of the NC state record and my fish "looks" bigger....I released the fish, but now I know that when/if I catch her again, I will put her in a live well until I can have an official come out and weigh/measure her....I am so stoked to think that I may have a record fish in my pond. Maybe next summer she will be the record!!

My pond is over 65 years old and there hasn't been any "stocking" in there...would this be a "hybrid?" I need educating on this type of stuff, I've always loved to fish but am no expert. I am a nurse...lol

That's a hybrid bluegill, Lori, so no record, but it is a very nice catch nonetheless!

That fish is huge! And clearly has tremendous girth beyond what most green sunfish depict. Great catch!
