I was out on Lake Proctor this morning stacking up the crappie when I thought I snagged an accidental shad. When I picked up I had this beauty! The jig was half his size and he was mouth hooked. Crazy! Tossed the fish back after the photo. What was it? Thanks! CK

Could be a Orange Spotted but I have never seen a ear flap like that on an Orange Spotted. May be the area ware caught.

Thanks guys! I'm amazed that there are so many different species. When I was a kid we called them all perch. Thanks for the ID. Wish I was still running aquariums.

Orange Spotted. The ones I have been catching on the Comal do not have that well defined ear. I think locations play a factor on some fishes development. Just my opinion.
