Panfishing 6/27 - 06/28/21 12:28 PM
Went to one of my favorite lakes and caught several sunfish and one bass. The sunfish were small except for this nice yellow breasted one that went 8 inches- a huge sunfish for me, though I know some people here catch bigger ones regularly. I release about 98% of the fish I catch, but I had never eaten a sunfish before so I kept this one. It tasted pretty good, but I do feel bad because it was a female and had some eggs. I would have thought they had already spawned? The lake didn't feel overly warm surprisingly, so maybe they haven't yet? I hooked one bass in the chin, the full moon is probably to blame for low bass numbers, at least that's my story.
