So today I finally found the time to go fishing again, and I stumbled across a small pool in the river. It took a lot of effort to find it, so I don't think it was heavily fished. There, on my second cast, I pulled in a 6 inch sunfish. It had a very orange bottom, and looked more slender than other pictures of bluegill I've seen. I'm not quite sure what it was. I then caught a 4 inch bluegill, and got about 15 bites in 20 casts. Then, at around 12:30, the fish vanished.

How do I make sure that I hook the fish when I get a bite? And, what type of fish did I catch?
