Some sunfish

here are a few of the sunfish we played with yesterday at my friends place out west of ft worth,
none were on beds , best I can tell ya , the short water bite for spawners has headed south for the year out there ....
we hit 2 different water bodies for a total of 3 pit stops .....
we managed some nice sunfish at all 3 stops , but the numbers are getting lower by the visit
the dog days are coming , almost hit 100 degrees here the other day....
water clarity went from pretty clear to looking pretty "soupy" in a week at the big lake ....
until we and or I ride again ....
KABOOM tiz the word :highfive

Nice ones.

I’m likin the variety and the size. They was nice sized. I’m happy when they show up a little better than little.

Pretty fish and nice size !
It’s been an over a week since I’ve been between rain , wind , and the holiday long weekend. I don’t do crowds .

Good post and pictures as always ... nice size gills to boot

Decently sized for sure, good stuff on light tackle

Very nice variety pack of colors on those sunnies. Amazing how you fish a spot and how different each fish looks.

it is odd , never seen that much contrast from fish to fish , it is my thought that 30 years or more of unmolested inbreeding and hybridizing and such has created that many highly contrasting definitions in the sunfish at those spots ....maybe :dono

I agree 100%. It's been really noticeable the last few years with the hybrids. Getting to where some lakes have more hybrids than pure bred gills.
