Pirate Perch - 06/26/16 08:45 PM
I thought I knew every fish in the rivers down here until I netted two of the fish pictured yesterday. It was identified as a Pirate Perch and apparently they only get about 5" long. They have soft rays so I think they'd make great LMB forage if they'll grow in a pond.
Anyone else run across them?
I dip netted them in a tributary to the Chipola River, Jackson County, Florida.
