They almost look like they ought to be in the Ocean when they color up like this!! I wish they got as big as CNBG!! That would be sweet!!!

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1) And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1) Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT? PB answer: It depends.

Hey Bill I put 4 or 5 of these all about the same size in my pond? I haven't seen them since but if I do or if I see a strange possible Hybrid I will for sure take a pic of it and post it! I love these fish they are absolutely beautiful for fresh water! RC The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!

Where do you think it came from (got there)? http://www.web1.cnre.vt.edu/efish/families/longearsun.html Hey Eric I caught these on the bank of the White River it's about 2 miles from the pond. Fishing on the shore just for whatever and 5 or 6 of these guys showed up. They were such a good looking fish I had to keep them. I hope they show up again in my pond some day. I wonder what one of these guys and a RES would look like? At any rate if I get anything that I might think would be a cross mix with them I will post a pic!

It is referred to as a "Dollar Sunfish". The ocular tab does not appear to be quite as long as the LES, and it has different colored markings on the black ocular tab as well...mine came in with the water... ...when in doubt...set the hook...

OP RC51 Ambassador Lunker Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 4,318 Likes: 6 Arkansas	Yeah I really like these guys? I need to do some more research on them. I don't know much. Are they aggressive or passive? How big can they really get if you feed them? Would they eat AQ? I bet I can catch a few in this one spot when ever I want to. So I may go back and get a few more if I can. I know they don't get real big but they sure are some cool looking fish!! RC The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!

There are no specs with the photo, but from what I can see the body dynamics are excellent. This is a beastly appearing LES. "Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
