    In this episode of What’s The Catch?  We’re gonna discuss: Panfish, what they are, where to find them, how to catch them, and why you should wanna catch them.

    Segment 1: Species Background

    Panfish are small freshwater fish that are native to North America. They get their name from being small enough to fit into a frying pan. There are many types of fish considered panfish.There are 38 species in the panfish family, so to make this quicker and not drag on, I’ll be talking mainly about Bluegill and the Green Sunfish since those are both the most common found in Hopewell and other areas close. What I can say from personal experience is that they do taste really good.

    Fun facts:

    • Average Bluegill length: 7.5 inches
    • Average bluegill weight: 2.6lbs
    • Average Green Sunfish length: 3 to 6 inches
    • Average Green Sunfish weight: 1.2 lbs
