Found this pic of the world record Green sunfish


Recommended Posts

Has that record not been broken since?

I've been told for years (and I think I remember reading it) that the Mo.state record green sunny was caught in Little Gravois creek in the mid '80's by a bass fisherman during a tournament.

I thought about not posting this in fear of nobdy believing me but screw it.

  When I was 12 yrs old I caught a fish which  my dad and I believed to be a bluegill. An abnormally large bluegill. Dad thought it might be a state record so we took it home and weighed it. I'll never forget seeing those numbers on the scale 2lb 2oz and hearing my dad say, "14oz short."   As I got a little older and learned my fish I realized what I caught was a green sunfish not a bluegill.  I have always joked with my brother about me being the state record holder.  

Man, why is everything always just another fish story!! Wish cameras were everywhere then like they are now.

 one possible state record smallmouth released due to no harvest season .  no regrets it was the right thing to do although I will always wonder  

what a long strange trip it's been , put a dip in your hip, a glide in your stride and come on to the mother ship , the learning never ends
