The BG looked like it might be a northern or intigrade...

oh ok, thought that looked like a normal BG and not a CNBG.
I still think the one with all the color is a Long Ear sunfish or perhaps a Pumkinseed

That fish in the top post, is it a especially colored long ear or does it have pumpkinseed in it or hybrid? Found this link with lots of really cool LES. I can't imagine these swim naturally in rivers, how beautiful!! Longears and ozark bass

Yep, That's a bullhead,mudcat,yellow cat, pollywog,...What ever you want to call it. In Deep East Texas we call them pollywogs. You have a beautiful place and very healthy fish.

Tyler,
Why do they have black spatters on the inside of your canoe? I notice the carolina skiffs tend to have that same pattern. Is that paint? It is to provide camouflage?

That comes stock in Gheenoes. It acts as a "non-slip" as well as helps hide dirt.

Fish are getting bigger. My daughter caught the biggest fish out of this lake so far. was over 7lbs on the Boga grip! Was such an awesome moment. We were fishing from the bank about 20 yards apart and she started screaming "DADDY,DADDY, DADDY!!!" I looked over and here little reel with 6lb was screaming. When I got over there it was wrapped up in some bushes out in the lake. She handed me the rod and ran away. I started yelling "get back over here!!!" She came back and I said your catching this fish not me. She fought it for a few more minutes and we landed it! (I may or may not have walked out 10 yards in to the pond to grab it!) Such a cool feeling! I was shaking like a leaf!

Great work.

Yep, a picture of it all coming together.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
