Caught while dipnetting. My first time catching one! Species #82 for my hook/line lifelist.
Caught while dipnetting.
Got itself stuck in a shallow area. Maybe a black nose dace?
Longear I think but not sure
Caught while fishing. Definitely appears to have traits intermediate with bluegill (L. macrochirus) and redear sunfish (L. microlophus). Traits that show redear include an elongated pectoral fin (but not as long as on a pure redear). Going to call this one a hybrid. In my opinion, it definitely has redear in it. *Redear sunfish have been confirmed to live in this pond.
