Pretty little things, first time I've seen one Thanks.
Beautiful fish. They look similar to the goggle eye's we have around here. I have caught them on 3/8oz spinnerbaits with 4 1/2 willow blades and they will put up a good fight.

Wow, they do look very similar!

WOW them are cool ...are they man made or naturally occurring ?
Never seen one of those! Thanks for posting.
Looks like a hodgepodge of several species,but tasty non the less.
Attachment 268149I been catching them goggle eye on the calcasieu and houston river around lake charles. I thought I was catching monsters, but after seeing y'all's fish, mine are just average. They big enough to fillet though.
I grew up in Lake Charles/ MossBluff and have caught literally hundreds of goggle eye down there. I don't know what your using for bait but 90% of the time I use small bait shrimp under a slip bobber or if you find some populated areas try a yellow and black H&H spinnerbait.Quote:

If they endangered, it's part my fault cause I been eating them. LAHooligan, I use bettle spins and cutey spins mostly, when I do use a bobber, I use gulp worms, they seem to like it ok. With the spins, I hit the tree, let it slide down and start reeling, they hit it pretty hard, loads of fun.

Those are some new ones to me. Thanks for sharing.
Love these Sacramento Perch - problem is, they are very tasty, people won't release them. They pull little harder than Crappie. Lake Crowley has some pigs - heard they have been getting hit hard......
I had not heard of these before. The Wiki is interesting on them. They get pretty big. Sadly, an endangered species.
