That's a pretty fish, whatever it is!

That’s a good one, and pretty to boot.

Nice fish.

It is a red breast...but in Texas it is also referred to as Ketchn said.....yellow belly.

Redbreast Sunfish (Lepomis

I know its for sure a long one and worthy of mention in these parts , I always called them river bream myself as they seem to be about 99.9% of the time be in a flowing water body here in Texas.
sure fought well on a winter day in the creek and I thought at first I had me a nice red ear sunfish .

I travel 81 miles one way to catch those is the spring. Nickajack Lake is full of them...and nice ones. They do fight like a red ear. I’ve never caught a single one west of Jasper, TN in the lakes I fish. Go figure.....they made it all the way to Texas but couldn’t stop along the lakes in Middle TN....LOL.

A nice looking Sunfish, and decent size to boot. About ten of those would make some awful good fish taco fillers! Good catch.
