WOW - that's a lot of trash right there! I swear I saw one that big in a lake near here, but my buddy told me it was just a grass carp - no way a sunfish could get that big. I am beginning to doubt that now, thinking I should go back and try and hook it. They do put up a pretty good fight. Except for the little ones that you don't even notice have taken your fly until your backcast.




HOOK 'EM!
