What the heck is this?
« on: Feb 09, 2016, 04:55 PM »
Caught amongst perch on a southern tier lake in the Dansville area.   

My guess is a green sunfish hybrid....possibly with a...rockbass?

A gill-rock, blue-rock, grock, block bass? Whatever it is, I want one! The real question is what does it taste like?

That thing looks like a lot of different fish, its striped like a perch, has the chest of a sunfish shoulders of a rockbass and mouth of a a smallie..

Ive got this figured out as to exactly what happened, every 4 years what happens in the bays of some waters is known as the the "Drunken Weed Bed Dance" All the fish all get together and drag all the beer cans and bottles vagrants and lazy fisherman left behind and party like there is no tomorrow.. We have all been in this situation before, after a few beers with us humans a 4 looks like an 8 and a 6 looks like a 10.. With fish its no different, a perch sees a rock bass after a couple sips and says ahhh what the heck those are some nice curves and beady red eyes i wonder if she wants to go out back by the lily pad... ::)

Look up green sunfish. All the images look identical to it. Warmouth doesn't have stripes look at the images on Google

warmouths  and  green  look  a lot  alike  having  fished  a lot  down  south
it  looks  like a  warmouth to me  ...but  it's  pretty much impossible to id a  fish  with a  picture  on the  internet  ....lol  and  there  is a  salt water  fish called a  triple  tail  and  great eating too   ;D


what  ever it  is  or  was  it's  fun  to get something odd ...
