Pretty hard to tell from a single DI image but I would guess brush...LOL
Looks like all fish to me.
All fish, but I think your asking what kind of fish. I would guess Perch or Crappie.
Kentuckies?
DING DING!!!! Kentucky's it is.... and white bass we caught about 30 each off that one hump!!! We kept the white bass and let the kentuckies swim another day. I like catching them!
That's a ton of fish! Awesome catch.
What the heck is a Kentuckie
There is a species of bass called a kentucky bass. They resemble a largemouth black bass quite a bit but dont get as large. They are ferocious! 3-4 pounder is a big one. They usually will have orange eyes, pop belly (cuz they know how to eat!), and the sandpaper teeth on their tongues. Where a largemouth has a smooth tongue. Dont ask me how I know!!! Lmbo
Thanks Lowepro. never heard of one before. Hope your thumb is ok.
Wilbur ... it's a Spotted Bass, often called a KY Spotted Bass or a "Kentucky" or "Ky Bass". The KY aspect of its name was enforced over its simple "Spotted Bass" designation, back in 1956, when the KY General Assembly passed a Senate Resolution designating the fish as KY's official game fish.
The "tooth patch", smaller mouth/jaw, smaller overall size, and markings differentiate it from the Largemouth Bass upon visual inspection.

My thumb is still sore no that u mention it.... But i sure do like that pain. Reminds me of great times!!!
KY bass, aka Spotted bass, known in OH as Spots. So named due to the rows of spots near the belly. More common in rivers with current than largemouth. Nice mess of whites!
Look like footballs when you catch them below the dams. They love to eat.
