thanks man, i wish I could but I don't have a tank setup right now

My location is SE Mississippi by the way
 
If this fish is a Longear, it is a potential state record. The MS state record is 0.14lb. This one weighed 3oz on my digital scales which would be 0.1875lbs. I was considering putting the fish in my pond, but it jumped out of the bucket with the top on it but just not latched.
 
Yea I have it in the freezer now. I am probably going to try and get an official weight tomorrow, or I may go try to catch a bigger one. I caught 2 more today that look just like this one but were maybe 3 inches long.
 
where in MS are you,

I have caught several Long Ears that size in the Escatawba river.

I even caught one on a small crank bait while bass fishing, not sure how he even got the bait in his mouth, i tore it up bad trying to get it out
