Oh how I love those big red breast sunfish!! may were they aggressive today on the brazos!! the faster i stripped this frog, the better. would slam it!! and it was a big frog.





oh, and the bass liked em too!!

Bigger then your hand. Nice.

Was this below Whitney?

Great pics. Looks like an awesome trip.

well done

They do like big baits

nice pics! thanks for sharin.
RJ, spooky!

Man, I couldn't get the LMB on O H Ivie to even sniff a topwater froggie...bummer. Had to resort to a holographic clouser.

Where do you put in on the Brazos ? Have not fished the Brazos.

PS... those are longears... redbreasts don't actually have as much color ironically.

I vote redbreast.

Great report. Thanks for posting BTW

Excellent Redbreast pics!!! They are my favorite sunfish to stalk and catch. I love seeing them rise from the depths and smacking one of my little topwater or crankbait plugs. I've had some great days catching Redbreast on F-3 and F-5 Rapala floating minnows in the Hill Country. Glad you were able to get on some. They are fun!!

I beg to differ!

definitely red breast, as evident by silers TP&WD id!!
longears are much more colorful,and have aqua in them. redbreasts usually have that real bright yellow belly to them.

Yeah, maybe you're right. I'm not used to seeing redbreasts so large I guess. When they are smaller like you normally find them around here they don't have nearly as much color.
