What Natives do you keep?

[Griggs]

I thought I'd start a list of of what North American Natives everyone keeps.

I actually don't currently have any, but I'll make a list of what I've kept in the past.

Grass Pickerel
Green Sunfish
Bluegill
Pumpkinseed
Orange Spotted Sunfish
Hybrid Sunfish
Largemouth Bass
Smallmouth Bass
Perch
Black Crappie
Brown Bullhead
Yellow Bullhead

*edit* swear filter doesnt let us say cr@p? And so I can't type Cr@ppie?

[piranha45]

[fishmadness]

i kept some sunnies before... then i cooked them when food ran out...

[The TRUST]

LOL!

Hmmm I used to have like over 150 bull head catfish, about 90 LM bass, few sturgeon, channel cats and some other stuff at one time. Not counting the gars I had before in a pond before.

[tangtang]

black banded sunfish

[trout guy]

dont have anything right now since i moved restocking the tank with crappie and redfin pickerel.

[rayman45]

i have a blue channel cat
and a sm bass
might get some northern pikes :)

[sharpy]

I have kept crappie, bluegill, and sunfish. Not for very long though. I'd like to get a catfish of some sort. That would be more interesting.

[piranha45]

are crappie aggressive?

[trout guy]

nope theyre really docile fish. they have the same personality as an esox would.

[guppy]

But much smaller mouths, crappie aren't as aggresive as most blue gill but do like the occasional guppy. As an aside, the smallest sturgeon I can legally acquire/ship is now 42", pike minnows are any size from 4"- 30"

[PredatoryFishMagazine]

The only native I've got right now is a channel cat. I'm in the process of searching for a northern pike and a muskie though.

3 I beieve Orangethroat darters
1 Mottle Sculpin
1 Warmouth

[PredatoryFishMagazine]

Thanks

[sleepyflight]

In the past I've kept LMB, which I think everyone has and Fl Warmouth....I love those, they tend to have a very good apetite. Love the striping in the face when they get ticked.

I currently have a few yellow bullhead cats of various sizes, several bluegill, a few green sunfish, a LM bass, and gambusia for feeders. I also have some minnow that I haven't identified and a red shiner. I'm currently on the look out for a small gar that I don't have to buy and whatever other local native that I don't have.
