Lol So if these fish were first caught 20 yrs ago would they be callled visor eyes😜?!? With some species like these guys that have variable features like coloration patterns and don't have really distinctive characters that separates species easily in the field, it may be best to go based upon the historic distribution of the different species. Will still look at some guidebooks when I get home. Can't see the full dorsal and anal fins. Also can't see the scales real well. Need to have Bret get a better camera ☺.

Al Agnew Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 Pretty sure it's a shadow bass. Although there are a lot of black spots in a row, there are also some gaps. Northern rock bass have the black spots on pretty much every scale, no gaps at all.
Ham Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 You guys are right that I should look at drainages and not worry about outward appearence so much. Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish
