I don't know what it is, but it sure is delicious!

First off, I had a much more enjoyable fishing experience on the Yahara today. I only caught 26 bluegill, less than half as many as last time. :) I also caught 1 rock bass, 2 smallmouth, 2 green sunfish, 5 pumpkinseeds, a PR drum at 13", and what I think is a hybrid striped bass, which was 12". If it's not that then it's a white bass. I also caught this bluegill thing in the first picture below. It has coloring on its face like a pumpkinseed or green sunfish. Do you think its some kind of hybrid? The black spot is kinda long and pointed upwards, is it a hybrid with a longear sunfish. Help!



When I caught the drum, the hook got burried in his gullet. He wasn't going to make it, so I did the responsible thing and kept him to take home. I've been wondering if they taste good like people say on the internet.



I took my gear down to the first bridge going over the Yahara and cast into the middle underneath it. That's where I caught this hybrid or white bass. I was pretty pleased to have caught a new species, but once again the hook was buried in the gullet. That seems to be a problem when I fish with worms on the bottom. The fish swallow all of it before I get a chance to set the hook in the lip.



I took both of the fish home. Here's what they looked like before...



... and here's what they looked like after! I soaked the fillets in lemon juice, and then dipped them in egg and covered them with italian seasoned bread crumbs. Fried in butter, they were dee-e-licious! I was really impressed with both of them. They tasted very different but were both very enjoyable. I'll consider bringing home more if I catch good sized ones again.
