I know a lot of great ponds have amazing fish and that each experience isn't always about the size of the fish. But, is there thread that show each members largest catch? If not, can we post them here?

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

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.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

I'm having trouble identifying the species......obviously has a lot of sunfish in it.

How about calling it Lepomis obscenomegallus, the Sunsqatch?

Ha!! "Sunsquatch"! If I use that a few times it will only be a few weeks 'til I've convinced myself that I came up with it.


Holding a redear sunfish is like running with scissors.

Scott, the WR was probably in the zillions, but who knows? There would have to be a decimal point in there somewhere. Now, I think she's a zero. My LMB loved her, and continue to love her kin almost daily.

I've been affectionately calling these mystery fish Scooby Snacks. I do like Sunsquatch though. That's much better than what Sunil would call them. "Dreamboat Greenies".

Actually, I think Sunil uses the term "Dreamboat Greenies" to refer to a cooler full of Peroni.

You can't get your feathers ruffled if you've already been plucked.

I caught this one earlier in the year at one of the lakes I consult on. While the fish was just 7 lbs it was 180% WR. What a stud fish!!!

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!!

I know this pales in comparison but this is my biggest BG to-date, caught last night and purty darned excited about it grin

It was a beautiful night last night so I sat on the dock and probably caught a dozen, with barely two looking the same as far as their color. Amazes me how they can vary so much!

Male HBG?

Definitely a male but not a hybrid. Nice fish!
