[center]13 of 16.Red eared sunfish.Caught in irregation canal, McAllen, Texas.bait used small white spinnerbait.5/7/03
The book ( Texas Fishing ) says that the ear of a male gets more vivid during spawning season but quickly fade when removed from the water.The females ear is orange.The red ear on this fish was barely viable after I got it home.The book says that they can reach 6 to 8 onces, so this one is a dandy.
