Here's a goodun I caught a couple of years ago (on Ky Lake)
it went from the inside bend of my elbow to the palm of my hand

Hey, it takes a huge amount of fishing ability to catch a quality fish like that one!Quote:

I got a hit close to the bank and was just holding pressure on it when I almost got the rod jerked out of my hands. The line started screaming down the bank with the drag slipping then it was gone. I reeled it in and this little guy was on. Apparently he hit initially then something sizable hit him and took off. It was definitely a juvy redear and it was released alive.
Looks more like a juvy Green Sunfish, to me, Dux !! LOL !!Quote:

I am still trying to catch one that is over one pound. I caught a full big ones over the last year but none over a pound but guys that I was with caught a lot over a pound. I have personally seen 20 or 30 over a pound but none in the 2 pound range. I got space on my wall ready soon hopefully.
People actually fish for redear? I usually throw them back.
Big Redear can be fun to catch. I like catching a lot of different species of fish, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, White Bass, Crappie, Bluegill, Redear, Catfish, etc.
I only fish for fish that I like to eat so I mostly chase buffalo, carp and red horse. Those red ear are too small and don't taste very good.
How long will Red ear be on the bed?
