James Beals of Royston, Georgia, recently caught this state record, 1-pound, 4-ounce green sunfish from a private pond.

I do not envy them nor do I give them praise. I just report what is reported to me. In a way it is rather funny to see when the size of the fish that I throw back in Cali is a state record somewhere else.

At least we all can catch what we catch and enjoy what we do while we watch others boast and brag about small fish.:sunglasses:
