Look at this beautiful mount for a (1.5 lb./9 inch) bream that I caught in a overflow pond near the Chipola River! Wow...what a fight I had with a cane pole on this one! Enjoy!

I've seen Peacock Bass; that looks like a "Peacock Sunfish." Interesting.

Yea....It is a redbreast sunfish. I am very close to the world record if not the world record (1.12 lbs.). But I never weighed mine or registered it. But I will if I catch another one like this! Heres info & a picture of the "record"- http://floridafisheries.com/Fishes/panfish.html#redbreast -luke

I noticed on that web link that the world record is smaller than the state record. Either a typo, or I'm going blind from staring at the screen. Nice catch.

Uhh Luke, the Texas STATE record for the redbrested sunfish is 1.63 pounds...I rather doubt the world record is less than that, but we do things bigger in Texas.
