Q:Why, in most Midwest lake/ rivers, are red-ear sunfish a rarity? I mean, over time, wouldnt they become as common as a bluegill or pumpkinseed?

Q:Yesterday I caught a sunfish, smaller one that you don't think about keeping. Anyway, when examining the fish, I noticed a large bump, almost as large as it's eyes, right in the middle of it's forhead. I have never seen this on a sunfish. Is it a disease or a mutation or just a random bump?

Q:Ok, os I'm in Mid-western Wisconsin and this is the second week after ice-out and I'm already fishing pre-spawn sunfish and crappie. Last year there was still ice on the lake until April. The weathers nice but I can't help thinking what will happen to the lake this year, with the water level dropping over 2ft last year.
