Thread: Grass Perch, Pumpkinseeds,...

Hey Stumpbumper, down in the south (at least where I fish) we rarely catch pumpkinseeds that are big enough to eat, but I have caught a few that were bordeline that I kept and they tasted just fine to me. It is a pretty fish though. Would look good in an aquarium or gold fish pond.

No biggee jumper. Miss ID can be frustrating. Another thing with "all over" boards is that fish are not known by the same common names everywhere.
Oh yeah. Records are not the goal nor are they impressive to many (some?) people.

here's a pdf file link that you may find interesting :

http://www.kdfwr.state.ky.us/pdf/kyf...vPath=C101C138

It's an ID booklet that the KDFWR puts out, identifying the most commonly found fish in KY waters. Decent pics and a little bit of info on most. It's a PDF file, so it might take a little bit to load .. but, it does show the "Flier", "Pumpkinseed", "Redear" (Shellcracker), "Green Sunfish", and others mentioned in this thread.

Here's a "records" listing for some "Sunfish" species : (just FYI)
