Caught in freshwater drain pond. Green in color, with a red-ish jaw. Approx size is about 6 inches in length. I thought it was a crappie at first. I’m not big on freshwater species… is it a bream of some sort?
Thats a size 12 mens tennis shoe
Looks like a molly to me…

oh nice. thanks
def a warmouth. checkout www.kayakbassfishing.com and look in the other freshwater fish forum. I just got done with a post about a crappie hybrid. turns out its just a huge bluegill. but there’s lots of pictures of different bream on there. match it up and bada bing. you got your fish. you’ll also be astonished at the size of some of the bluegill on there.
Don’t forget “stump knocker”. Tasty fish.

No offense meant, but a stumpknocker, or spotted sunfish, is a different fish.

No offense taken, we still call em stumpknockers. Probabley just because the name sounds cool.
It’s all good! They are like a crazy cross between a bream and bass.
