Wow.

 

[James Lindley]

Holy smokes. I bet that rascal was a ton of fun and fight.. Ones a fifth that size are really hard fighters. I can only imagine.

 

[valmetpredtr]

Wow, can you imagine catching that on a fly rod!

 

[DesertRam]

Holy cow! That's a beast of a sunfish. That would have been a hoot on an ultralight with 4-pound test.

 

[Rock Knocker]

Hahaha, I couldn't even fit that up my ice hole if I got one in the winter.

 

[Tnslim]

The guy thought he had a catfish so must not have been a good fight. Pound for pound they fight harder than anything I've caught.

 

[Rock Knocker]

I could see how a nearly 6 lbs sunfish could fight like maybe a 15lbs catfish.
