Went fishing this morning at 7:00AM. Went out to the deltas and was trying to target a green sunfish for my future native community. When i first got there i was trying to target at the big mommas (lmb) with spinnerbaits but failed...

So i gave up bass fishing... then i moved on, kept trying to catch a green sunfish (which was my goal) but only caught bluegills with wax worms as bait. Later then i got bored of catching bluegills, and used red worm as bait. And you know what happens next? Right when i tossed it in the water the fish takes the bait right away. Set the hook, pulled the fishie out and it was a cute little 4" lmb. Whoaaa awesome! haha, trying to catch a green sunfish was total failed. So i aimed for some baby lmb. Caught a total of 5.

Took em home cause i was a baddass. There all now in a 25 gal waiting to go in my 100 gal. Then hopefully a 200 gal in the near future. The big next step is to try to feed them now.

Well thats all, here are the pictures.

They were all pretty scared of the camera & me. So it was very difficult for me to try to get a good picture. Not that great but its good!
 
i used to keep a lmb. super personable fish. an it was easy to get him on pellets.
 
I just recently released mine into a private pond. I loved it but it was only a temporary experiment for when I have a bigger tank. I caught two bass around 5 inches long and they fought, constantly switching roles of alpha. They would literally take out a dozen goldfish or so in two minutes (ALOT for their size). They do know when they are full of food and would not eat any more after they ate too much. I recommend only keeping one in with about 3 bluegill. The bluegills will form a small colony and the bass will leave them alone, but will fight other bass (at least that was the case with mine).
 
dude my problem is i cannot catch one small enough. i live in connecticut and it isnt easy i wish u knew how to ship live fish i woulda paid like 20 bucks for one of those lol.
