    Mike the world record Flier is 1 pound 4 ounces.........I currently have a fish just a couple ounces from the record with a taxidermist.......I have threatened the record for several years in a row now......They are called Fliers Joe because of the very large Dorsal and Anal fins that are almost a match which is unique.....They have one of the smallest ranges in the Sunfish family.....
