New PB from this small stream finally
I’ll never get over how beautiful these fish are.


I’ll never get over how beautiful these fish are.
This ditch is full of aquatic vegetation so snags are constant but there are some decent ones in here. Really healthy population for such an unnatural environment. Sucks what they did to this stream, maybe one day they’ll restore it.
These guys fight pretty hard. Had a bigger one that I think was 12-14 inches but it jumped out of the water and threw the hook.
Caught 30+ fish, ultralight is nonstop action
Nothing particular large but pretty decent for the little lake I’m on.
It has a tiny bit of red in the ear flap but it doesn’t look like other redears I’ve caught. It almost looks like a copper nose bluegill x red ear hybrid. what do you guys think?
(SOUTH FLORIDA)
African Jewelfish is a new species for me.
How big do these guys really get?
Looking like a zebra tilapia to me but not sure since spotted can look very similar.
Are these both just bluegill?
I recently got a Tatula XT Medium Fast rod with a Regal LT 2500. I’m trying to figure out what line is best for south florida canals and the occasional light salt water. People say 10 pound braid casts a lot further than 20 pound but I might try to go for snakeheads in spots with more vegetation. Do I actually need a stronger braid or is it over kill? Not sure what braid is ideal for this setup.
Also I’m confused with the specifications of the Regal LT 2500 and how much power pro 10/15/20/30 pound braid I would actually need.
Had a big hole on its side and it wasn’t reacting much. Guessing there’s no coming back from an injury like that. My only guess is an alligator.
