In Georgia we would call that a warmouth

ETA: A lot of folks don't care for them but they are one of my favorites.

That looks more like a typical goggle-eye to me, but I am aware of something people call a coppernose, which has even more of a bream body and coloration with a goggle-eye mouth and the red eye.

I was told you can find them in stocked ponds, and I want to say they can't reproduce, or something of that nature.

First one I caught was in a local 10 acre pond that had been stocked 30 years prior. I immediately noticed and took pics of the fish from many angles. Shared them with a guy that told me they are called a coppernose. He knew more details about them, but I don't recall.

I know it's because your thumb is at an angle, but if you squint your eyes it 100% looks like a small penis.


oh. Goggle Eye in the rain on a blue/white/chartruese humdinger.
