Thread: Pending World Record Redear Sunfish

I found this story yesterday and was going to post it, but got busy and forgot. Oh well, here is the story:


A pending world record, Arizona style, was yanked out of Lake Havasu on Sunday. Hector Brito’s redear sunfish weighed 5.78 pounds. A steroid shellcracker, it was. If you’ve never seen a 6-pound panfish, it’s time to head to Havasu, where the redear sunfish are likely benefitting from the invasive quagga mussels as a food source. Brito (right) caught the redear sunfish at 11:30 a.m. and brought it to Bass Tackle Master in Lake Havasu City, where John Galbraith weighed it at 5.78 pounds on an Arizona Game and Fish-certified scale. It was 17 inches long.
