Let it grow up, and then we will taste test!, then we can make a better judgement ......

I got a photo of one of many Shadow bass I caught this week.

Ham,

Where did you catch shadow bass? I have caught rock bass (goggle-eye), Ambloplites rupestris and ozark bass, Ambloplites constellatus. So I would be interested in catching a shadow bass sometime.

Hey John,

Current River. It was dead easy once I fished a flow that had Shadow Bass.

[Jerry Rapp]

how many species are you up to now Ham?

[Ham]

Only 26. My homey caught this beautiful Northern Hog Sucker on a grub. . Still pretty jealous. I've caught em before just not this year.

[Johnsfolly]

Ham. Were you fishing the Current in Mo or in Arkansas? Are you tracking how many different species you catch in a year? I track every fish that I catch and love to catch new species. I'm up to 86 different freshwater and saltwater fish species over my fishing career. I need to catch the guadeloupe and the Suwannee river bass to finish catching all of the black bass species.

[Ham]

Current in MO. Yes, I had a goal of 52 species this year. It was always going to be very difficult to get there and I have missed on multiple attempts to catch some odd ball stuff. I actually had a Rainbow darter hooked up and lost it before I could get a hand on it. I still think I can get to 40 or so species this year.

I don't know that I've ever done a complete life count of species. I really should.

Check out www.roughfish.com I think it would be right up your alley.

I think they've added another bass species recently. I fished the LLano River and caught smallie/ guad hybrids. There aaren't many full guads left. I'd love to go catch Shoal Bass and Suwannee Bass though.
