An ly is an alewive, which is a herring like baitfish. They call them lys in the panhandle of florida though.
What if its an accident? I dont really look for fish I just kind of randomly throw whenever I feel like it will be a good spot

Every once in awhile i get something exciting, this bass was 5lb 6oz and 20 inches. The mirror carp was the first one i had ever seen on this river, he was 5 or 6 lbs. I mostly net for bluegills/shad. I get the occasional carp, crappie, perch, or bass though.
You can't really control what you catch, what I meant is that you can't take gamefish that you catch with a net. Laws are different everywhere, I would just read up on your area.
