That's definitely a Flier Sunfish!!! Look alot like a Crappie in the body with the head and mouth similar to a bluegill!!! Very pretty fish and a good fighter as well!!!
IF YOU'RE FISHIN ON CREDIT, YOU'D BETTER SWITCH TO DEBIT!!!
oh yeah, thats a flier like these guys said. they bite real lite, and take the cork down real slow most of the times. have heard of people slapping the water with a cane pole a bunch, and then fishing there. they are supposed to be real curious.
