Home     Largemouth Bass    Walleye    Northern Pike    Sunfish    Crappie

Sunfish is a broad name for the species because there are 4 different types but
they are all just considered sunfish. They are prone to "stunting" this happens when the lake has
good spawning habitat but not enough food and the fish stay small even if they are of adult age.
They are among the 9.7 million pounds of panfish harvested annually by MN angkers.
