You're correct, Jack, it was a Pumpkinseed. Although I usually fish my own property, I was fishing one of the ponds at Alamance Wildlife Club. Only open to members and guests. We've got fish feeders and several wildlife biologists who are members and they manage our ponds. It's not hard to have quality fish under those conditions.
When the fish feeders go off, the catfish open their mouths and scoop the feed off the top of the water like an out of control track loader..
