This pic was sent to me by a friend asking for help with identifying the type of fish. It was caught in a private pond in rural Tuscaloosa County. My initial thought was a rock bass, but the dorsal fin was throwing me off a bit. I knew you folks would know... so here you go:

It's a goggle/warmouth, no doubt.

I've come to appreciate the tenacity of them. Bastards don't let my speedcrawl get deep enough for the bass before they pick it up

I would always just call that a perch but I see where I was wrong. To me it was pretty much either perch, white perch(sac-a-lait), bass or catfish. That was it.

If you are catching a bunch of them in a pond, time to burn the pond down and start over.
