Record setting Ontario Orange-spotted Sunfish?
Was having no luck this morning on the rideau up in Ottawa, I did not have minnows so I was using some worms I had on hand; Small fish were steeling them so I kept going down hook sizes until I hit 1/32.
I caught a about dozen perch and a dozen rock bass, a couple of sunfish but then I caught an Sunfish with Orange accents. Did a quick google and found out it was an Orange-spotted Sunfish... The one I caught was about 5 inches (about 12 cm).... Which makes it bigger than the average adult length and it turns out this fish is rare in Ontario. By the looks of this page http://ontariofishes.ca/fish_detail.php?FID=133 the largest recorded in Ontario was 9.9. It figures.. I been trying for musky, pike, bass, walleye, and what I get is an Ontario record Sunfish... sigh, and I did not have my camera.... You guys believe me right? Will I ever catch a break.... ![]() (Cross posted from http://www.fish-hawk.net/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=49558) |
