look at this picture in the link.. could be?

Nah thats not it. These have vertical stripes while those were horizontal. Rock bass also don't have that iridescent blue to them the way these seem to be showing. I'm hoping these color up some in the next day or two so I can maybe get some better pics of them.

you're right.. I would say that is a baby bluegill

That picture is closer, but the stripes on mine aren't perfectly vertical like that picture. I still think its a bluegill though, at least thats what I'm hoping for.

maybe a piranah! put your finger in there and tell us! lmao!

brian1973 · 04-18-2008, 11:00 PM

lmao..shut up and quit being nit picky damn it...i found another link that is identical to your pics it was about a half dozen young bluegill pulled out of a largemouth bass, figured that may offend some on here, and you know I never want to offend anyone.

pwrmacG4 · 04-18-2008, 11:06 PM

sure... what ever you say george! how IS apistodave these days brian... you seemed to fall for that great guy! lmao.. offend away! I have a strong stomach..

Well it looks like they don't believe these are bluegills on the NANFA forum, but possibly northern longear or pumpkinseed. I'm going to try to get some better pictures in a little bit that I will post here and hopefully be able to get a positive ID on it.

lol, your thread brings back some warm memories for me Alter.
Maybe when we start going swimming this year I can poke around the river for some fish and plants.
Ive been watching this thread and just smiling whenever I read ya'lls posts.
I hope my Boo enjoys the woods and waterways like I grew up loving it.
Maybe this forum will still be going when he's old enough to participate.
Too bad you don't live closer, we could go collecting!
I still think you should have gone with a darter or two for your 10 gallon! LOL (biased)
Just remember, darters and adolescent sunnies don't mix, haha. Sigh,

Poor dead fishies of the past.

Your post wont offend me Brian, it's all a part of nature. Not like you mutilated the bluies. lol
