Put your glasses on Old man! hahah Jk. These lil buggers are very common here on the delta. Next time I go out I will take another picture. Rite now He is headless and in the freezer. I give up a basket of crickets for these lil buggers when ever I find them instead of moving on looking for bigger fish. They have a different taste than blue gill. There actually Sweet! This is actually the average size and its rare to catch them bigger than hand size. 80 percent of people throw them back cause there so lil but I know there flavor and would take 1 of these lil guys over 4 big fillets anyday. What I need to do is find out how to get some up to you for you to cook. Im wanting to go digem outta the freezer now just thinking about it!
