Caught a nice red ear off a dock at the lake then a few small ones and decided to use them for cut bait and see if the catfish were biting. Ended up catching a nice largemouth on the cut bait fishing on bottom.

El_espectro on May 2, 2026 7:11 pm Longears are very pretty fish, but rainbow darters have a slight edge in the looks department.
BadLuckIsMyLuck on May 2, 2026 7:11 pm I am partial to brook trout. But I will NOT fight about your opinion. Pretty fish!
squunkyumas on May 2, 2026 7:18 pm I lean toward the peacock bass being the prettiest, but this is also nice.
