Some of the red spotted sunfish are truly beautiful also....some awesome colors....

These guys pop out of the water in many interesting color patterns.....but the spots always remain the dominant feature......I like a long shank hook on these guys if bait fishing to avoid gut hooking.......These particular fish took a combination of Gulp 1" Minnows and a live cricket or grass shrimp......seems like a mouthful for these guys but it's not uncommon to catch a hundred or so even when they are scattered and not spawning.......Most anglers consider them a nuisance......

Thanks James....these guys come out of dark tannic waters down in Louisiana and a few other southern states...don't get real big but attack big popping bugs, rubber worms and larger sunfish offerings.....most people see them as a pest......I love catching them on telescopic poles and they make great tablefare for patient fish cleaners like me.....
