That fish is (one of) my broodstock fish. He wasn't born on my farm, but can't be higher than age-6.
Some of my age-3's are his progeny likely.
I didn't weigh him. I was having so many problems figuring out the camera settings that I was worried I might be stressing him, so he was measured and quickly released.
I'll catch another one better than him soon that I'll get higher quality photos. By my estimation that fish wouldn't crack my top 40.
Excellent fight, by the way.
Holding a redear sunfish is like running with scissors.
