X2 I caught one about that size last year on the Spring River using a Rooster Tail. I just threw it back. Had no idea what it was until later. Probably wasn't a record, but it may have been a trophy. I guess it pays to be your homework.Quote:

Thats a neat fish. Congrats Dan
Neat looking, great job!
Im with RCC, I would have filleted him and never known....Congrats! awesome story!
Double "WOW"!!!
Congratulations Dan! Last year my wife and I were crappie fishing the white river near our home in Batesville when I caught one of those. I'd never seen one before and couldn't figure out what it was. So I took a picture and because it wasn't a crappie I threw it back. Got home and looked it up on the internet and saw that it was an Ozark Bass and that the world record was around a pound. We sat there with this stunned stupid looks on our faces because the one I threw back was pushing every bit of a pound. I've often thought of going back and see if I could catch him again but I'll wait, he's probably got to get bigger now that we have a new king on the throne. Good job for knowing your fish!
Congratulations! !!!
I'm with RCC, I would have called it a goggle eye or rice slick. We don't have them, to my knowledge, on the East central side of the state.
I think a goggle eye has some red in it's eyes doesn't it? It sure does look like one though. Congrats
