Cgrutt Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 New here thought you guys could help. My son and his friend were fishing at my buddy's property a couple weeks ago and caught what I believe is a juvenile small mouth bass. It was only about 5 or 6 inches long and was caught on live worm. My buddy was concerned because he stocks the property with trout and didn't think any bass were there and could be destructive to his trout population. Is this a bass (sorry for bad pic)? And if so any idea if they would be destructive to trout population? If not bass does anybody know what this fish is? Would like to relay info to my friend. Thanks. Quote
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted September 23, 2021 Global Moderator Posted September 23, 2021 Kind of looks like a brook trout but I can’t tell if it has an adipose fin. Second guess is creek chub/fallfish type o’ thing 1 Quote
Cgrutt Posted September 23, 2021 Author Posted September 23, 2021 Thanks just watch a video and think you're right about creek chubb. Never heard of that before but basically a minnow/bait fish which would also explain how it got there. Much appreciated. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted September 23, 2021 Super User Posted September 23, 2021 That's a creek chub, and not a bass. They will bite live and artificial baits. 1 2 Quote
Super User WRB Posted September 23, 2021 Super User Posted September 23, 2021 Not a bass with the eyes on top of the head. Tom 1 Quote
