Yep, that's the world record Redear sunfish. Largest freshwater sunfish on the planet!

Believe it or not, I actually think this fish is still alive in this photo. Look at the reflective eye. Usually that goes away when they die.

The partial/facial photo in the background looks like it could be Lawler, the gentleman who caught the record. Maybe a day or so later?
