Wild about warmouth
Those are some really nice Warmouths, Jeffrey. I always consider them to be a great bonus when I catch one. I remember growing up in the early 60's, and catching them from a blow down filled backwater lake, off the Cedar River in IA., and many years later while fishing the Okeefanokee Swamp here in GA. Fiesty, and good eating too!
Here's a couple great Warmouth from the North Carolina Dismal Swamp Jason S.
Pretty fish and what fighters they are!!!!!
These guys are relentless and particularly fun for surface angling with a popping bug....Almost always associated with cypress knees and other wood. I have a couple summer spawning holes located for these guys. I eat some of the smaller ones as these guys are a thicker fish and easy to clean.....I became fond of these fish growing up in the Louisiana marsh where we caught as many "Goggle-Eyed Perch" that we wanted.....I'm interested in getting a nice pair mounted on a cypress log one day but until then I prefer to select harvest Warmouth in North Carolina because they aren't as numerous as the other sunfish in North Carolina.....
Those are really excellent looking fish Jeffrey!!
What a treat to catch warmouths like that!
My picture shows me holding a South Edisto River warmouth. I had never seen one and thought (for a fleeting moment) that I had some exotic new species.
aw man jeff! look at those beauties! fish fry heaven!!
