I used to have a poster of freshwater fishes of north america......I guess i have a few brain cells left........i looked it up to be sure before i posted it.
Lol! Must have been the old war stories we were talking about that fueled the fire on this one. Good god.
Haven't laughed that hard in weeks!!!!!!!
deadsmelthead you cracked me up buddy
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...
Fish was caught in a pond/small lake in the southern tier. My buddy won't let me blow up the spot... u know how that is. But I thought is was very cool Fish he caught, so I had ( bigred ) put a pic up of the fish. In the description of a warmouth they have 3 to 5 lines that radiant (if that's the word) from the eye. This fish doesn't. So off the bat no warmouth...... possible hybrid of a green sunfish or just a green sunfish.
I agree with the Green Sunfish folkshttp://www.pima.gov/cmo/sdcp/species/fsheets/ex/sf.html
No doubt related to the hairy chested nut scratcher.....
We are In The north east Cold water, warmouth need warmer water they are down south fish. Aquarium fish. Google New York State green sunfish that is exactly what it is.
I figured this would be a good conversation piece as well but you gotta have one or two of those douchebags out there
