I had the opportunity to fish yesterday with a great fisherman and a stand up guy. Yes, im talking about CMJ. The conditions were challenging but we still managed to catch fish. Thanks Chris, enjoyed the trip! Attached is a dink that I caught, could someone help me Identify it?
Warmouth bass. Kissing cousins with a goggleye.
looks like a goggle eye to me, some call em warmouth same thing!
Lepomis gulosus
Goggle eye. Fun to catch- great to eat!
What they said!
It was a good time. We didnt get into em like I would have liked, but the fellowship was awesome. Thanks for letting me tag along and run your boat. That is a sweet ride!!
It's bait.
It's a "gargle eye" or a "cypress bass." Or maybe it's a "stink Jim." All above mentioned species were caught regularly by my uncle W.E. Doc Stratton on Freo Creek near Bearden, Arkansas. GTT
Warmouth
Great catch. It takes a great fisherman to catch one that big
Yeah I'd say warmouth, we don't have many in SW AR but I have caught them and that's a small one, the bigger ones are fighters! For as many true goggle eyes that we have i'm surprised we don't have anymore warmouths and like a true redear I think if I remember right they are white meat fish unlike a greaser goggle eye. Sometimes bream fishing along the outer edge of the beds I'll pick up big sunfish that are white meat also.
