I think Sunfish covers it. I'm not anything on Fish Biology.
We have Red Ear Sunfish, Pumpkin Seeds, Shell Crackers and several other
distinctively different ones. The Shell Crackers are the largest, usually,
sometimes weighing over 1 1/2 lb.
You can catch a bit of everything that swims in the weed beds.
I've caught many many Bass up to six pounds, Catfish, Crappie, White Bass,
and Hybrid Bass and Stiped Bass even a few Sauger.
I had such a high pressure job, that every evening I would go to the
weedbed with Poppers and catch countless fish.

I think fishing is one of the most relaxing hobbies there is as long as you
don't take it really serious. Just go out there for fun and relaxation and
always hope your going to catch that really big one.
My biggest bass, I didn't weigh but he was 17 1/2 inches long. I caught him
right off our dock. Then the Bluegill and alot of Perch are in the lake. I
caught one that was really weird that I have no idea what it was, it was
short it was not a Rock Bass, but had the mouth of a Bass, but absolutely
huge red eyes. I didn't take it's picture and could kick myself for not
doing it. It fought like the devil. We also have Walleye, Pike and I'm not
sure if there are Northerns in this lake or not. I know there are Crappie
and I'm not sure what else. What is a Hybrid Bass? I have never seen a
White Bass either. Shell Crackers is new to me also.
