You would have a hard time NOT getting a Green Sunfish to hit your bait on the lakes I fish, if you get within <2ft of the rocky shorelines of those lakes. They hit our Road Runners, jigs, and "would" scarf up any form of live bait ... if we used it. I can't say as I've ever caught a Green Sunfish that big, but have caught several Warmouth that were bigger ... casting small cranks for Bass. And I've sent many a flyin' over to the other side of the boat, on the hookset, when "worm fishing" for Bass in the Spring.

With their voracious appetite I'm surprised the Green Sunfish don't get MUCH bigger !!
