Cool site, Scotty!
I like 'Our Champion', who seems thrilled with her catch. What fish is your
buddy Jim holding up, looks almost like a speckled perch.

Looks like a crappie, and a very nice one at that.

Around here we call em' Calico Bass, or Crappie. They are indeed a
great fish, some of the best tasting fresh water fish you can catch.
They can get up to about 2+ pounds I think the record for the state is
around there. We love em'. You have to get them in the spring or late
fall however, they are warm water lovers and get wormy in the
summer... "Our Champion" is a bit older now, you may see some pics of
her in the Racing area of the site, all in pink and black on the dirt
bike...
You've probably mentioned it, but I'm senile. Where is 'around here'? If
I'm going to be fishing in Falls Lake, NC, I'd better learn something about
fresh water fishing. What do you catch those things with?

Well, I am in Connecticut, but these should be found where you are
iirc. You will usually find them in the same kinds of lakes and ponds
as bluegills, sunfish and other similar panfish. They seem to prefer a
little deeper water and a little movement so if you find other
gamefish such as pickerel, trout, faster fish, you will probably find
the Calico Bass. Like I said they seem to like a little deeper and
more cover than most other panfish, and can usually be found along the
side of a ridge or valley, or in the rocks.. good luck. They are
probably best filleted, and do have a pretty good scale cover to be
removed but it is worth it..
