It is a 3 inch long paddle tail plastic body. I have been catching everything that swims with it....I never thought Gills would like it but they do.

Thanks......you are correct......one of those are a warmouth. Got into some of those also and just posted the one pic. The spot had a creek running into it and I assume that is why the concentration of the rock bass and warmouth.

Thanks for the comments guys. I am having a great spring so far.....mostly all due to the boat I purchased last fall. I loved my kayak fishing and had some great spots to fish from the bank.....but it is nice to be back in a boat.

That 9" gill is a horse! Cool to see pictures of the black perch - I've never seen one outside of photos. Very nice looking smallmouth bass too. Those must be some kind of fun on super light line.

The first of the two is a warmouth, it has three spines on the anal fin. Second is a rock bass, six spines on the anal fin.

I am again amazed at the quality of fish you are pulling in! Nice!
