These orange spotted sunfish are even rarer than the reds and blacks......my grandfather had a great pair of these mounted on an old piece of cypress.....it was awesome for the 60s......wish I had a picture.....

I like catching aggressive fish sounds like it would be loads of fun on the UL.

Yeah Dick....several other sub species of spotted sunfish not pictured here.......in some bayous in Louisiana these fish guard every cypress tree in the water.....they are relentless and often attack baits larger than they are......
