heyitskirby Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 Posted this in the Other Species forum, but wanted to post here for local knowledge.... Caught this today trying to catch catfish bait on a nightcrawler at Buggs. Looks like a sunfish, but had a bigger mouth...similar to a crappie.... Anyone know what it is....? Quote
vapredhunter Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 Warmouth, Redeye, Rockbass, Roanoke Bass ? Looks like a Roanoke Bass to me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roanoke_bass Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted May 8, 2012 Super User Posted May 8, 2012 Looks like a warmouth. Good eating too. Quote
Super User MCS Posted May 8, 2012 Super User Posted May 8, 2012 I caught them before up in Lake Frederick. They are pretty big in that lake, plenty 8-10 inches. Worms with a split shot will bring them home all day, even in Dec. I never could quite tell if it was a sunfish or a crappie, either. I just called them sunfish cuz it has the black spot on the gill. But warmouth they might be, it certainly fits the description......It all makes sense now. Quote
