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?

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!
