Sprkplug, you beat me to it. snrub, are there any crappie in the pond? The coloration, body shape and eyes/remaining gill flap looks like a crappie to me.
Not supposed to be. That being said, when they were counting fish and checking for off species when the fry were delivered, they did pull two crappie out of the fry. So it is entirely possible that one got past them.
Hopefully not two.
We have caught and removed around 80 fish and caught and released maybe another 20 so far from the pond and everything caught has been BG, one CC and maybe a couple mutt hybrids (as they were called by the experts
) with some RES in them.
So if it was a crappie, hopefully it was the only one.
I had not even thought about it possibly being a crappie.
