(FND11) Green Sunfish (Breamicus bigjawz):

Possibly the easiest fish in the world to catch.  I'm surprised I caught 10 species before this one. 

I haven't caught one yet this year either. Will happen soon.

I think I'm down to only needing a Warmouth to complete the normally available brim" family. 
I'll get Yellow Perch, Black Crappie, and White Crappie somewhere along the way.

Locally still have to catch pumpkinseed, green, redear, and warmouth sunfish. Then have to focus on bluespotted sunfish and fliers. Have to travel to find coppernose bluegill, redspotted, spotted sunfish, and bantam. Also white crappie. Lots to catch still. Hardest will be the bantams. Bluespotted may be a problem since we only saw one last year where they were common the year before.

Warmouth are on my list to catch.  Only caught one in Illinois 20+ years ago.  Would like to catch one on the fly rod.  Only waters near me that seem to have them are private.  Anyone know of Warmouth near StL?

Awesome!  Was this your first Brown Bullhead?  Or did you catch some last year too?

I know that you could go to the old spillway below Wappapello lake and catch them easily on your microjigs. Sorry I know that this is not close to St Louis.

We've caught a few each of the last couple of years. Fairly common around here. White catfish are much more common of the bullhead species at least in the waters that we have been fishing. Supposed to be some yellow bullheads around here as well but we haven't caught them here yet. We don't spend a lot of time targeting catfish, but will get them when bottom fishing for other species.

Still need to catch channel and blue catfish for this year. Will be coming soon I'm sure. My wife caught one channel yesterday.
