Nice fryer Retrieverman! OSA Fish Fry!
Yep, went from nothing would bite to everything biting. All these different species were caught using just two crankbaits!
I would like to thank these two little Bass for letting me catch them every time I go to Haskell Lake, you guys are the best! See ya next week!
Yesterday, I made a spur of the moment trip up to my place to mow, check cameras, and fill feeders, but since the grass is pretty much dead, I ended up not having to mow thus having “spare” time. I decided to attempt to get my money’s worth out of my fishing license. I’ve been hunting on the Salt Fork for 16 years and never even attempted to catch a fish, but I was shocked to literally get a bite or catch a fish every single cast for two hours. I ended up keeping and cleaning 9. I went during the heat of the day today, but I’m going back tomorrow but early in the morning while it’s cooler.

Nice stringer Retrieverman!
Okay, I had the same question about these coming out of my own pond. I did some research and this is how this works. The fish with yellow tinges on their fins and a larger mouth, but a spot like a bluegill are a hybrid. They look like this:
They’re a hybrid from a male bluegill:
And a female green sunfish:
You can pinpoint the green sunfish because of the little green/blue stripes under its eyes and between its mouth and gill plate.
They’re very aggressive, but they also reproduce at a rate that’s 90% male. This means that they can reproduce between themselves but not at a large rate.

Good info Oklahomahunter!
Thanks. It took a little investigating. I guess they’re a stocked fish in mostly eastern lakes and ponds. What I found said they were popular east of the Mississippi River. I grew up catching them in creeks and farm ponds but we never knew what they were exactly. I wanted to know a couple of months ago because I’m about to rework a pond on our farm and that’s going to start by pulling out a large number of fish within a certain size range. These guys are on the list to come out along with a large portion of bass up to 14”-16” and a fair number of channel cat.
