Members Huntingducks117 Posted July 7, 2018 Members Posted July 7, 2018 Since the last post went way off topic, I'll try again. Does anybody have any pictures of giant Longear Sunfish they have gotten? Lots of rumors of record breaking Longear being caught, Would love to see some pictures of your largest! Try to keep it positive. Here's a deer hair display fly of a Longear I made! Daryk Campbell Sr, tho1mas, Harps and 5 others 8
Greasy B Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 That was a great fish. I’ll be at the boat ramp in an hour, I’ll see if I can get a Longear picture.

BilletHead Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 Nice hair stacking man! No giant ones for me just caught a few on smaller creeks. May have to do some playing in the water wet wading with the fly rod , BilletHead Huntingducks117 1 "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"

MOPanfisher Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 OK, the big ole long ear was cool, but that fly is awesome! Have no desire to fish with it but for decor it is beautiful. Huntingducks117 1
tjm Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 Big LES are rare in my experience. Hundreds of 3" ers have tried to eat my flies over the years, but only a couple of pan sized ones. Awesome deer hair display. Huntingducks117 1
jdmidwest Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 Nice fly. Welcome to the gang of gang up on's. Most of my records went back in the water to keep them going. It tends to irritate the ones I fish with, but we saw the fish, its enough. Its the memory that counts. trythisonemv, Huntingducks117 and Daryk Campbell Sr 3 "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S. Thompson
trythisonemv Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 Id say eight inches I the biggest ive caught. Niangua has some big ones. Johnsfolly and Huntingducks117 2
Harps Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 Really nice tie. You a student of the Mike George technique? I think my biggest Longear might have been 7 inches or so.... Huntingducks117 1

I've watch Mike George tie several times, but I got into deer hair by watching Pat Cohen, then just experimenting and playing around with it on my own. It's a fun material. Johnsfolly 1
Johnsfolly Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 Haven't caught one over 6 inches. I'll look for a colorful one in my old photos. They are a great looking fish. Love that fly! Great job! Huntingducks117, Daryk Campbell Sr and trythisonemv 3
