Was out fishing today, mostly expecting bluegill, on a whim my brother decides to throw out a plastic minnow probably a foot and a half under a bobber, and he pulls this in....
Think it's a smallmouth, but we catch so few that we aren't sure. Wouldn't you know it, probably a half hour later, on a piece of hot dog, I hooked the same guy! Definitely the same fish, he had a big hole where he was hooked the first time.

I would agree. I didn't even know a Green Sunfish existed! Google Images seems to confirm.... http://gallery.nanfa.org/d/14847-5/Picture+2924.jpg Thanks for the info cormorantslayer! Damn, I been fishing up this way for years and Ive never seen one of those.. Still waiting for my first sturgeon too hahahaha |
Not as nice as Carp but still, a fine meal for a flatty!

Rock bass, more than likely and around here they are also called warmouth bass look them up I believe that is what you have we catch them in ponds and lakes down in mississippi alot. Got answered a month ago... the fish in the op is a green sunfish. sp00ky posted some good pictures of some green sunfish, as well as some pictures of smallmouth and some rockbass for comparison. |
