Here's Lisa with a monster Redear Sunfish. With this fish she won the "In-Fisherman Master Angler Award" for the Redear Sunfish species, and later won the In-Fisherman Master Angler Recognition Pin : this was the largest Redear sunfish recorded by In-Fisherman Magazine in North America in 2002. This fish nibbled around on her line for 5 minutes while she patiently waited to set the hook. If she had listened to me, she would have never caught this Kentucky Lake mammoth.


This is my top Shabbona catch, a 46 inch 26 pound Muskie caught on a topwater Muskie lure. Caught September 19th 2001, in the rain. Please excuse the raindrops on the camera lens. I was fishing by myself and in my excitement, I didn't notice the water on the lens.
