4 LMB all on senko wacky flickit green senko with chart tip

1 green sunfish, same set up

If you fish senkos be prepared to lose alot, the fish in lower bolton fight harder and jump more then any other lake ive been too. One of the neat things about freshwater fishing, each lake is its own gene pool, bass very from lake to lake, not just in appearance, but behavior as well. Going to have to buy some o-rings or use some straw sections.

heres the green sunfish, most folks havent seen one before, real pretty, this one has some war wounds.

Green sunfish, eh? I caught what I thought was a hybrid at Lower Bolton on Monday. It's proportions were a bit odd...stout like a rock bass, huge mouth, markings like a pumpkinseed. Hit a green spinnerbait.

Yes, the fish in Bolton are aggressive...especially the channel cats! I caught 2 bass and a bunch of slimedarts...they were biting the tails off my black Powerworms all day.

For some reason at some point they got stocked,
greens aren't native, the dep guide to lakes says they sre in only 4% of CT lakes. Their mouths are huge, one of their distinctive features.

Kira , its very likely the fish you caught had other sunfish species mixed in, its common amongst all the sunfish to interbreed, not including the misnamed "bass," large mouth,small mouth, and spotted basses.
