st clair shores
220 stocked with....
7 blue gill
2 largemouth bass
1 pumpkin seed sunfish

Going to give 4 of the blue gills to my brother n law looking for a few more pumpkin seeds... Really want to get a bow fin

These fish are fun the one bass my brother n law caught and held in his tank with oscars, JD, and a dovii well nipped tail and a red lip from being bitten I'm hoping in my bigger tank with not aggressive fish he'll recover quick

Pics to come tomorrow

Oh yea that too, I caught a flat head but it stung me so I threw it back... It also swallowed the hook and was too small to keep but that bugger hurt lol I'm looking for a nice cat I think it will fit in my brother n law caught a good size one but I think he ate it

Yeah they'll get you, it's actually their pectoral and dorsal spines digging into you not literal stinging. Believe me I get cut about every time I catfish, it doesn't help that they have a mild toxin in them either :). Try using circle hooks to fish for one, once they grab the bait they immediately get hooked in the side if the jaw.
 
Can't get the bigger of the lmb to eat my brother said it was eating for him but won't touch anything for me, looking to get rid of the bluegills and get a catfish maybe do a native predatory setup

love the tank but I wouldn't keep those guns above the tank you are going to have some rust issues, with the evaporation.

NP I just had an Rem 870 that had surface rust just being in the closet on humid days. I see your chamber is open so didnt want you to get water in there and have an issue.
