Thread: What kind of Bream is this?

When my son and I get out fishing for crappie and it a little slow we will give the old green carp a go... They're so easy to catch... We will catch about 20 or so to eat from time to time... We always put them on a stringer in the live well so we can remove them easy at the ramp... We like to ice them down if we're going to eat them... We leave the cooler at the truck... For some reason, some of the people in the big long bass boats with the big hp motors get real mad when they see all the green carp we put in the cooler... Sometimes they say we should not keep them... I think they get mad because they didn't catch any... I always offer them a few if they want some fish to eat... But so far no takers... They don't know what they are missing... They're a real good eating fish easy to catch... You can get a limit about any time you go fishing...

You guys or too much. Enjoyed your comments! I like them sauteed in mustard.

We catch them a lot in Florida, but never seen one that small before.��

That is the kind of bream I used to chase! But they are too easy to catch or at least that is my story and I am sticking too it.

Some of us Long liners on the big G call them Green trout, because of the usual jumps and ensuing tangles!! We have not caught one in almost a year that did not have a torn or broken mouth from already being caught at least once, not sure there are any virgin big ones left in the lake not that I care...............Big green trout tournaments start next week end on the big G and will be one some where on it every weekend till mid May. Sure glad they don't have that many Crappie tournaments on the lake!! I have even heard there is a movement afoot to actually stock the big G with more green trout............wonder if they would be as concerned about the Crappie??
