Since you brought it up...I've located a 2nd body of water nearby that appears to be loaded with goldfish, and a few bullheads. I've walked around it that past 2 evenings with my wife, but haven't fished it yet. Johnsfolly 1

I need to check that species off my Genus completion quest . I can swap with details about where to find some yellows not terribly far from you. FishnDave 1

I got a really good look at one that was looking over something floating on the surface. It had black chin whiskers, so probably a Black Bullhead. I can't imagine there would be any Brown Bullhead around here. I'll let you know if I catch one. 👍 Johnsfolly 1

How many spotted sunfish might I have mistaken for bluegill or other grunt species that I lumped with French grunts. Or did I catch a bigmouth sleeper. I've taken at least five or six species that I thought I had caught, e.g., black bullheads, from the life list because without a photo, I'm just not sure of the species . I have also gained a couple after review of the photos that I do have and as my knowledge base of species increases . Locally common names, e.g., bonito instead of false albacore, etc., did lead to some misidentifications which I believe that I have corrected. Lately been using some INaturalist folks as reviewers for some species. Helped me split what I thought were all golden redhorse suckers and added the silver redhorse to the list.
