They look like they would be strong fighters, based on their body shape and large dorsal fin.

That looks cool, where is that body of water are they a food fish? Do you fish them same as other panfish?

Not a gill......but,if you get into a bunch of 10 to 11 inch Rios you will have fun with the action they provide...
