I will have to disagree on that one. Now I've only "known" since being on the forum what a GSF actually was. I had been feeding them for about 3 months before I knew I had them in the pond...(long story) Maybe its the feed, or something else, but mine fight hard...you would think they were small bass. I really thought this one was. Caught on top water popper...bait was about 3" long. Slammed it. Mine are also VERY aggressive around the feeder. When fishing with bobbers and worms, the kids barely have time to reel in the slack before the bobber goes under.

I actually threw out one larger than this, back when I was trying to get rid of them. I have regretted that ever since. Maybe they aren't the fish everyone wants....maybe they cause forage problems...maybe they don't spawn enough to be good forage...but man they are fun to catch and the kids have a ball.

And yes...I'm one of those people...the ones you cross to the other side of the street when you meet...you don't look them in the eye...you pick another line at Walmart because you do not want to be behind them...you unfriend them on facebook when you find out...they are a member of the Green Sunfish Club.
