Well, cool, dude. I like the colors, but them are some weird looking beasties. Guess I've never seen sunfish before, or for that matter bluegill. The one your son is holding kind of looks black and a little mean. Maybe Paleozoic, too. :)
I can't believe you put up with me and my fishing ignorance ways. I need to get 'schooled' in fish nomenclature. :)
The green sunfish look almost pre-historic for sure. That one was pretty dark but it was also the lighting. Here is the same fish with different lighting/angle.
Yeah, now that does definitely look green. An actually nice dark green. :)
How many fish have you actually kept so far this year?
So, I catch and release all of these local bluegills, green sunfish, bass, etc. I keep the trout we catch. We have kept about 25 trout so far this year. ;) we have eaten about half of those and the other half is in the freezer.
