  1. Ouachita studfish, Fundulus caddo I guess technically the old northern studfish species, Fudulus catenatus was renamed as the tanasi studfish. So we have caught the newly split disjunct studfish species😉. I don't recall if the stippled studfish in central Alabama was part of this split or it's own species previously. Alabama does also have the southern studfish.
  2. @Ham I guess that we need to begin calling them disjunct studfish, Fundulus cryptocatenatus instead of northern studfish. I was hoping for an armchair lifer when they split but the ones that I caught in TN apparently were not in the range of the new split species, tanasi studfish🤨.
  3. Congrats on a great creek smallie. I love throwing a fluke as well. Such a great bait. Hope that you can catch her again 😉
  4. You need to add some other "sunfish" to your gallery. Like blue-spotted, banded, black banded, and any of the pygmy sunfish species😉. Also need to go after those plains and swampland longears.
  5. Hey Jeff that is a cool looking smallie. Congrats on the striper bite! Due to the down turn in numbers MD canceled the early run season for the big stripers. The striper season opened a few weeks ago here. I haven't tried for them at all. We mostly catch schoollies from shore. The big cow stripers are up in Mass or Maine right now.
  6. We did the Hammond to Sunburst pre-flood and caught some nice fish. That was the last stretch of public MO trout water in the state that I had to catch a trout. I only caught 6 but one was a 16" colored up male. that was well before the MDC put in their trout slams. Good luck. Looking forward to a report with photos.
  7. Fliers - if a crappie and bluegill had a baby😉 I don't remember, but did you get up into the tannic waters of central FL and catch any of those dark fliers? They get some cool coloration. The pond that we caught those giant fliers a few years ago has not given us much the last couple of times we fished it. I think that there have been a lot of meat fishermen out there. It is such a small pond that the large fliers might have been cleared out. We still catch ones this size in the creeks near that pond.
  8. Nice Bream Dave! I like those little guys. Wish that I lived closer to catch them more often.
  9. Happy Punday! A post-father's day joke.
  10. Who wouldn't like catch a 3+ lb minnow😉. I still need to catch one over 12" https://www.pilotonline.com/2025/06/13/angler-reels-in-a-species-of-minnow-weighing-more-than-3-pounds-sets-state-record/
  11. Used to be in the 70s that mahi mahi was if the fish was from the Pacific. That seemed to switch in the 80s when they pushed marketing them on the East Coast. I remember them being called dorado as well.
  12. It's about 4.25 hours one way, might be a bit far for an up and back trip. If you consider an overnight deal, I can give you other species locations around that area.
  13. Not trying to be mean but you have a shot at common shiners, true orangethroat darters and blackstripe topminnows in one thirty foot stretch of water.
  14. Good luck Ham. Let.me know if you need any help on species that I may know a bit about, maybe like common shiners😉
  15. Sounds like a fine day of fishing😉
  16. No just trying to tie my comment back to my pig post🙄
  17. Ok I was trying to not post more of these videos but I can't help it😂 Baby dad jokes🤔! Just have to post it😉
  18. Good luck and post photos😉
  19. That is a pig grass carp! I know my pigs🤔😂
  20. @FishnDave how many bowfin so far this year?
