I would sure love it if somebody could get me some more information on this giant fish!!!  I've tried to contact Joan without success.

Good Lord...

monster!! WOW

WOW I'm flabbergasted what a fish I can't believe they grow that big. What a magnificent fish.

That has got to be well over 4...maybe a 5 pounder!?!?

Havasu is the epicenter of trophy shellcrackers! Astonishing!

*JAW TO THE GROUND*

Some body get that fish into a tank for preservation! Holy smoke!

Go west, young man...go west!

Isn't Havasu home to Quagga mussels?  Can't remember for sure.

Yep. You got it! Tons of quagga mussels issue. This is why the eastern California aqueduct is heavily enforced for the invasive species to prevent spreading, while the northern and southern aqueducts are being monitored heavily. Some of the northern waters already got infested.

What a incredible fish!

This picture has been on facebook for a few weeks. I believe it's 4lbs4ozs, at least that's what I read on facebook. SUPER fish and looks to be a spawned out female. Imagine her with eggs?? I can't imagine the fight a fish this size would put up and not to mention your reaction when you first see her close to the boat!!

 Holy $&%@ It's GODZILLA BREAM! I've never seen anything like that!

To borrow a phrase that many of us have repeated through the years...."I need a bigger boat"! An Admiral of the Sunfish Species! Congrats to Joan on her great catch!

I am simply speechless...Wow!

I don't know about a bigger boat but definitely a bigger live well.

What a fish!  That would definitely drag my kayak around!!!!

YEA IM SPEECHLESS TO...........

I've got just a little more info:  The lucky lady angler, Joan Humpal, 68,  is from Fort Atkinson, Iowa and the fish measured 16 inches long, had a 16.2 inch girth and weighed 4.04 pounds.  This according to Game & Fish Magazine.  I wonder where it's "ear " is?  Maybe flipped under?

I really, really, really wanna fish Havasu! What a magnificent catch! Congratulations, Joan!
