re: Panfish ID...Copper Nose?

That is what we call a bream in Georgia LOL...its a nice one. I think it is either a bluegill or a shellcracker but it could be some sort of hybrid....but in North Georgia they are all bream LOL.. nice fish! Nothing funner to catch in my opinion and mature ones are very worthy adversaries...in the south we are blessed with "big" bream and therefore they seem relatively easy to catch....but big doesn't mean mature in the south....a big mature bream, and if that isn't some sort of hybrid I would say it was mature as well as big, is as difficult to trick into a boat as any fish that swims...GOOD JOB!
