Weld's Largemouth Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Fishing in Pittsburgh and I caught this sunfish. It's not a bluegill... So idk what it is. Photo is attached Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted August 1, 2014 Super User Posted August 1, 2014 It looks like what we call a green sunfish. Quote
Bladesmith, Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Around here that is called a "goggle eye". I believe the proper name is warmouth bass. Quote
Weld's Largemouth Posted August 1, 2014 Author Posted August 1, 2014 War mouth or green sunfish??? Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted August 1, 2014 Super User Posted August 1, 2014 That is definitely not a Warmouth perch. Google is an amazing tool. Google green sunfish and that little guy will appear... lol... 1 Quote
Weld's Largemouth Posted August 1, 2014 Author Posted August 1, 2014 Ok got it. Warmouth bass do not have two dots by edges of tail, green sunfish do Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted August 3, 2014 Global Moderator Posted August 3, 2014 I call them bait! The proper name is green sunfish though That's a very washed out one, they can be pretty colorful. Aggressive little buggers, I've caught them on baits that were bigger than they are. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted August 3, 2014 Super User Posted August 3, 2014 A green sunfish. I know them well. Quote
missouribigbass Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Great bait. Fillet out and you'll catch the heck out of channel cat Quote
Driftb Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 It's common for sunfish to hybridize and you could have a bluegill/green sunfish. Quote
EmersonFish Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 That's a pale, meek looking little Green Sunfish. 'Greenies' are great flathead bait. They are typically very sturdy little guys that will live a long time on the hook and move around quite a bit. They also make pretty good cut bait for channel cat once they die. Quote
Pinoy_Basser Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 red bellied piranha Kidding Aside. Looks very close to a green sunfish. Quote
