It doesn’t look like there’s a panfish pics thread like there are in the other forums… I love pictures of panfish because there’s so much color and variety, so I figured I’d start one. Maybe the Mods will pin it to the top of the forum if we’re lucky?
Anyway, this is a small green sunfish I caught in about 8″ of water the other day… he’s small, but his coloration was so vivid and the lighting so good for this picture that I thought it was worth posting.
I absolutely love catching green sunfish. They’re hearty fighters, hit like a bass and will take anything that moves (I’ve even caught them on Daredevils!) I was sighfishing with my ultralight along the shore just to avoid being skunked and I didn’t even realize it was a green sunnie till I got it out of the water. Cool stuff!
