Sunfish

    The sunfish family refers to
    crappies, largemouth and
    smallmouth bass, rock bass and
    some other fish that are not
    called sunfish.  This section
    will focus on the sunfish that are members of the genus
    Lepomis.  These are true sunfish.  The most popular
    sunfish of this genus include bluegill, pumpkinseed,
    redear, redbreast, warmouth, green and longear
    sunfish.  Sunfish are often called bream in the south.

    Sunfish are the fish that most young anglers catch
    while learning the sport of fishing.  These small fish
    hang out near the shorelines, are eager to bite, and
    provide constant action for a young angler.  Most fish
    are around 4 to 6 inches so fishermen can use light,
    inexpensive tackle when fishing for sunfish.  Some
    bigger sunfish in the 2 pound range have been caught
    with some bluegills over 4 pounds.
