what is this fish? - bmad1020 - 06-18-2011 was out fishing today and caught this baby fish. anyone know what it is? [signature] Re: [bmad1020] what is this fish? - davetclown - 06-18-2011 I have caught these my self, that is a fine specimen, that is as big as the get. I knew the name of them but it escapes me at the moment. I catch them where I fish for trout. It is not a ruffe or a white perch, it is not an invasive species but so far off the radar it barely gets notice other than being a bait steeler in streams. they like moving water near rocky terrain what state did you catch him out of? Re: [davetclown] what is this fish? - bmad1020 - 06-18-2011 i caught him in the red river in tennessee [signature] Re: [bmad1020] what is this fish? - flygoddess - 06-18-2011 Looks like a Perch to me, but those eyes!!! Maybe a Walleye? Heck I am a trout girl...LOL [signature] Re: [flygoddess] what is this fish? - davetclown - 06-20-2011 they do look like baby walleye, and that was what I thought they were when I first came across them, a fellow trout angler told me what they were.

It is a member of the perch family.[/#0000ff] [#0000ff][/#0000ff] [#0000ff][url "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darter_(fish)"]WIKIPEDIA[/url][/#0000ff] [signature] Re: [bmad1020] what is this fish? - Paulpro - 06-22-2011 Walleye, yet reminds me of that catfish that follows the urine streem up the pee hole,from rivermonsters episode.,,....allways pee down streem....Paulpro...
