My new PB sunfish landed right before dark. Caught on a size 8 crawfish pattern.  Played with the lighting on 2nd pic.

 That fish is a HOG! Congratulations on the PB Andrew!  Side Note: Is that a Georgia Giant?

Thanks Chuck, Meadowlark, and Jamie. Chuck- it's just a Green/Bluegill hybrid, wish I would have had you nearby to weigh it, it was going between 1.49-1.52lbs on the Rapala digital.  Meadowlark- I agree with you. My buddy was spin fishing and caught some nice sunfish on bigger lures than my fly.

Andrew a Georgia Giant is a hybrid cross between a Green Sunfish and a Bluegill Sunfish! I caught my first one on a private pond while fishing with Fred (Rionator). I thought I had a Green Hybrid and Fred explained to me it was a Georgia Giant which is a Greem/Bluegill mix. Mine was just under a pound and a half on a non certified scale. We had nothing to keep the fish alive in so I released it. Beautiful fish and full of fight. Caught it on a big Ol'Night Crawler.

Andrew a Georgia Giant is a hybrid cross between a Green Sunfish and a Bluegill Sunfish! ... Not exactly. It is a three way cross, i.e. three different species. The exact order is proprietary but goes like this...green sunfish crossed with red ear and the resulting fish is crossed with a bluegill...or some other order/combo but it involves three distinct species. I've raised them and they are an interesting fish, for sure.
