I caught a green sufish from this lake a month ago. I tried putting him with other fish but he always picks on them? I have two crawdads in the tank also.
 
Well how big is tank eventually your crawdads will most likely end up dead since this is a natural prey item the only fish probably is other sunfish
 
I have a sunfish and the larger one always chases the smaller one around. The large sunfish is 5 inches and is fine with a smaller pleco, 4 inch crayfish, and had 2 minnows in there as well before I took em out.

Granted I have a 110gal tank so there is a lot of space.
 
the size of your tank might be the problem why he is agressive, the whole tank is probably claimed as his. until you get a bigger tank with more room i wouldnt get another fish
 
Green sunfish can get 8-10" plus and really need a 40-55 gallon for just one. As you've found out, they are very aggressive and should be kept alone unless your going to upgrade to something like a 75+.
 
I would also reccomend at least a 55 gallon if you cant do this just take it back to same pond and let them back in.
