Nobody fishing?

From the spiny dorsal fin to the vertical stripes, that looks more like a perch to me than a bass. Cool either way.

May be an evolutionary blend. Fish ain't too particu,ar where their sperms go....

There is a red eye bass aka coosa bass I've caught a few times at a friend's river down in Huntsville. Looks similar, and at 8 inches was a nice (relative) size and like all stream/river fish fight better than lake fish.

On the canoe in the narrows on Lake Mojave. Trolling.with a 9" trout swimmer lure.

The blood on.the fish is mine. Stuck myself untangling the lure from the net.

I caught this beast on Saturday morning. She fought for what seemed like 45min, dragging out line repeatedly, running for structure, and extracting every ounce of my energy until I barely won the battle of exhaustion.

I’m lucky to have survived this battle of wills…

You need to upgrade from AOL dial-up...

It was a baby panfish, maybe a green sunfish? It was the end of our final fishing club event for the season and I needed to catch a few panfish to score some quick points. I went over to some docks and pitched a worm on a hook with my ultra light rod. I caught three panfish in the span of a minute....which is the limit for our league. I then went back out to troll for a quick northern pike but got skunked before time ran out.

That little guy still counted for three points though!
