Sunfish
Onalaska, WI		 Panfish
New Prague, MN
This Sunfish, nicknamed "Sunny", is 12 feet tall and 20 feet long. The statue was created by Dave Osland of DWO Fiberglass in 1998. Onalaska calls itself the Sunfish Capitol of the World and has an annual Sunfish Days festival. [map]

This Panfish is installed in front of the Fishtale Bar & Grill. It is identified elsewhere as a sunfish. It appears to be from the same mold as the bluefish statues. Evidently, a bluegill is a type of panfish. [map]

Hornbeak, TN
These two Fish are installed at Weiss Lake Lodge. The bluegill is 10 feet long while the crappie is 15 feet long. Centre is known as the "Crappie Capital of the World". These photos are from 2010. By 2011, the Lodge had added a third fish, a bream. [map]
