FISH IDENTIFICATION??????????????

Post by personfly18 » Sat Jul 04, 2009 9:19 am

Well yesterday when we were fishing, we pulled out an odd fish on some nightcrawlers. This fish had a body of a bass, and sleek skin like a bass, but it had red eyes. It also had a spiny ray dorsal fin. It was green, and we caught it at clear lake in pierce county. It is not a rock bass, because we know what rock bass look like. It had a long body, unlike a sunfish. It also did not have big scales, it had small scales like a trout. It had no markings on its body...just a generic green fish. We think it is a red eye bass...because it looks like the pictures of them...but it also said red eye bass are only found in the southern united states...so we dont know. Any one have any idea what it is???

It could be a red eye bucket biologists plant weird fish in weird places:-" Also it could have been from a fish tank...

Sounds like a Warmouth. Did it have a larger mouth than a bluegill ? In Fla I would catch these fish up to 3 lbs they can get to be nice sized. They will hit bass lures.
Are you hung up again!

this is a spotted or red eye bass and your description sounds just like it so id say that you are probably right and thats what you caught. I cant think of anything else it could be. pretty interesting fish it looks kind of like a walleye.

I did not have that kind of mouth. It had more of a bass kind of mouth.
