This is not your 'standard issue' sunfish that might haunt your Muskoka dock. Arizona angler, Robert Lawler, may have shattered the Arizona state with his five pound eight ounce sunfish.
Robert caught the behemoth panfish on a Texas-rigged a 7-inch Berkley Power Worm. For the entire story about this sunfish (and more photos), visit the Field and Stream website HERE.
Should Muskoka cottagers think twice about dipping their toes over the edge of their docks this summer? Probably not. The Ontario record for a Sunfish (Pumpkinseed) is only 1 pound. I would be more worried about the 42-pound pike that lurk the weedy cottage waters.
