Redbreast sunfish
Hello, so I recently caught a fish that I couldn't id, but my picture didn't come out well. I went back to the same spot, and I caught another.
It was in a stony pool in a tiny stream.

They certainly do not seem to be common in lakes. In all of my years fishing around the Memphis area I've only caught them in one lake. It was about 180 acres and completely undeveloped in a State Park. Unfortunately, when they drained the lake to repair the dam the redbreasts, which in this lake had bright yellow instead of red, went away. I haven't had experience fishing moving waters except for trout.
