Possible World Record Redear Sunfish Caught In Arizona (5 Fucking Pounds)

We just saw on the Arizona Game and Fish website, [URL="http://azgfd.gov/"]Azgfd.gov[/URL], where Robert Lawler of Lake Havasu City, Ariz., caught a redear sunfish weighing 5.55 pounds out of Lake Havasu. The massive fish specimen was 16.75 inches long with an amazing 19 inch girth. We've caught some two pound redears on Kentucky Lake and thought those were giants. We can't even imagine a 5 pounder.

John Galbraith of [URL="http://basstacklemaster.com/"]BassTackleMaster.com[/URL] snapped a photo of the specimen. The former state record was 4 pounds, 2.24 ounces and was also caught out of Lake Havasu on Feb. 16, 2010. That fish measured a measly 15.5-inches long.

That's a big little fish. Looks like a pregnant female from that picture. Or it could just be a fatass.

Mother fucking no strike tags

The guy who caught it looks stoic and depressed.

Great individual of the Redear Sunfish specie, yet we dragged it from its home. And it has probably been eaten by now.

I like to imagine this was playing while he reeled it in.

I'm surprised nobody has made a joke about this being in America and the fish being a fatass.

I'm jealous.

[jaredop]

I hate sunfish

[cecilbdemodded]

Goddamn, that guy's got a look on his face that says "I went to Lake Havasu to hook up with topless college chicks and all I got was a sunfish".

Sounds like random gibberish that you might pound into your keyboard in frustration.

[angelangel]

can't most fish grow ridiculously big if they're left alone to do so?

[Hardpoint Nomad]

That's a giant fucking bluegill.
