Congrats To 13 Year Old Victoria Navaroli on her New North Carolina State Record Green Sunfish

Victoria was fishing with her brother in a private pond in Creston, N.C. last month when her 1/4 inch piece of night crawler was taken by this 12".....1 Pound 15 Ounce certified Green Sunfish breaking the record held by Sean Vanderburg since 2008 and by just a mere 1 ounce.......I love to see things like this......

Wow what a hog great job Victoria.

Yes, this fish very much resembles many of the great hybrids caught throughout the country and pictured on this page that were also caught in pond environments.......Regardless, I was happy for Victoria and it's a great specimen....As much water as I have covered in the state I have never caught a green sunfish here, catch quite a few in a lake in coastal Virginia but none from my tidal waters......

I would go further than "almost," Tony - my first thought upon seeing the photo was, "That's a hybrid bluegill, not a green sunfish."  I'd bet a lot of money on it.
