b_p - not really stumped yet. I need one more piece of information before I can form an opinion on your situation.

I want to see a picture of several sizes of these redears. Catch one, two or three of them and get a fairly, close, clear photo. Send it US mail to me or email it to me. I will give you the appropriate address when you are ready.

OR catch one of the 5" to 6" fish and measure the total fish length AND then measure two distances of the open mouth; the distance between the upper jaw and lower jaw then measure the WIDTH of the open mouth. i.e. I want the distance or length of the vertical and horizontal axes of the stretched open mouth. Meassurements in inches or millimeters is okay.
