Reply With QuoteDwyane, congrats on the catch.. as for that last pic, to me that looks like a blue gill, but I am not sure, the camera sometimes alters the colors a little.

OT bream
Went to Lacassine today before the rain came down. Only caught about 3 or 4 that were keepable but kept 21 to put in my mom's pond.
Picture of a nice bluegill
Picture of a nice chick a pin (shell cracker for you yankees!)
Can anyone tell me what the proper name of this bream is? I have caught them for years but never knew what to call them.

You can't fish with a hung line!

Johnny, it is not a bluegill. It has a bigger mouth and the colors aren't right. It looks kind of like a cross between a bluegill and a goggle eye. I know the picture isn't great, I will try to get a better picture the next time I catch one. They are a pretty fish though.Originally Posted by jlaughlin72

The "Mystery Fish"
Dwyane -
That fish looks like the ones we caught around Tidewater (Below Venice) that we called "redbellies". They seemed to max out at around six inches and were profuse in the freshwater areas down there. However, I just scanned Dr. Douglas's book and can find nothing that will confirm such a species. More than likely it is a regional mutation of something else - a "sub-species". Or it could simply be a bluegill that has adapted to coastal Louisiana habitat. Need DNA research to tell that.
Interesting, though.

Dwayne, Linda and I didn't do any better. I knew better than to go but was hoping we could find a canal out of the wind and catch a few. Well that's what we caught a few, 2 nice gills and small sac-au-lait. The ride back has us jumping 2 foot and better waves in the Intracoastal. So much for Spring fishing, come on Summer.

Don't know the proper name, but we used to call them stump perch. Never caught any that were very big.

Yeah, the picture needs to be clearer but it may be one of these on this website. This is my guess if it is not a 'warmouth' or goggle eye. Hope that helps.

I think it is call Good Fried!
I got a magazine this week called Panfish. It has pictures and I believe what you caught is a green sunfish. Here is what it says about green sunfish
Though widespread in distribution, greenies are not as highly prized as some other sunfish species. Perhaps their penchant for living in water of marginal quaility impairs their reputation, since their aggressive nature, capacious (big)mouth, and rather large size (occasionally over a pound) make for fun fishing. And edibility matches that of related species, unless waster are especially muddy or algai-ridden.
Greens sometimes hybridize with bluegills, redear and pumpkinseeds in nature, producing large brilliantly colored offspring. Hatcheries in the southeast cultivate hybrids of the bluegill and greenie for stocking and these crossed can attain 3 pounds. Greens are aggressive and hit all types of livebait and small lures fished near the bottom.
