What exactly is this? - 315BassMan - 11-12-2012
I caught this fish out of my pond, it could be some normal bass but.. I don't know. It looked weird to me when I caught it. My grandpa says it's a small-mouth and it does look like one but it also looks weird.
Me and my buddy labeled it the "Silver-Sun-Bass" because it resembles a sunfish and a bass. Could it be a hybrid? I have a variety of different sunfish and a few small-mouths and about five rock bass in the pond, along with some suckers and a number of perch and bullhead.
Sorry for the blurry picture, for some reason when I downloaded it it came out really small and I had to resize it.

Looks like a smallie to me. The stained water will make it a light color.

That looks like a tilapia to me.

Well, since its blurry its hard to tell, plus from the angle i cant see much of the side of the fish. Looks to me to be either a talipia, smallmouth, or maybe even a crappie by the size of the mouth.
