Well allow me to introduce you to the most wonderful sunfish species on this planet.

When grown properly this species gets well over a pound and is IMHO the best fighting sunfish around.

Here are some of the GSF that DIED has grown...





Here's one from my pond...



Although the green streaks are not easy to see in these photos, the GSF has beautiful emerald green streaks that run from the mouth backwards. The green streaks, the yellow fin tipping and the huge mouth are identifying characteristics of this magnificent species (although some of the characteristics also appear on hybrid sunfish).

Dare to walk a different path and embrace this superior species.
