That is a bass.

The_Accuser Team Member Joined Mar 2003 Posts 1954 EE 100% (37) TN, USA	Posted: 6/9/2021 1:35:08 PM EDT [#12] I appreciate all the replies. This got me looking into the different sunfish in our lake. I'm leaning towards the greengil sunfish but it doesn't have the light green markings near the eyes. Any chance this is a warmouth sunfish?

	Familiarity and prolonged exposure without incident leads to a loss of appreciation of risk.
