State Record Sunfish Hybrid

When I was 9 years old, I caught a 2 pound sunfish hybrid (left). My papa, who was fishing with me, said it was the biggest sunfish he had ever seen. We snapped a few pictures, and released the fish, which was caught in Bartlesville at the "Perch Pond." I found out recently that it would have been an Oklahoma State Record. Although officially I don't own the record, it is nice, and devastating, to know that I could.
