Northern and CNBG can have very similar colors depending on location but it "looks" like there could be a patch above and behind eye that would lead me to say yes, it could be a CNBG. www.aquaticspecialties.info May God be with the Overton's Family.

The copper stripe is usually bigger and easier to see on larger fish, if you have any. "Live like you'll die tomorrow, but manage your grass like you'll live forever." -S. M. Stirling
