Saturday we were at a family gathering at my Uncle's farm in Kentucky, and I took my 9 & 3 y/o's fishing in one of the ponds. We caught several nice bass & crappie, and one strange looking fish I couldn't id. (No pic, didn't have camera handy)
The fish had a head like a green sunfish, body like a crappie, and the belly and bottom fins were bright yellow, practically neon yellow. It had a dark spot on the side like a bluegill. It weighed about a pound, and while crappie shaped it was fatter than crappie usually are. I thought it might be a goggle eye, but I've caught them before and don't remember them looking like that. Any idea what this fish is?
Thanks,
Eric
