Not a lot of fish there.
But, I hope they fight like bass.

Hmmm, appears to be a hybrid of the Smallmouth Bass & Largemouth Bass. The PATTERN is similar to Smallmouth, the COLORING is similar to Largemouth.

Here's the Smallmouth pattern for reference:

No. These two bass are not hiding in plain sight.
They are hiding behind the four sousa’s and 76 trombones.

We don’t have those around here or I would have never caught them.

We got a lot of Peacock bass in the canals near me and I see folks fishing for them. However, I would never eat them since the pollution levels of the canals in South Florida turn me off to eating any fish caught in them.

“These evolutionarily distinct lineages are important to name,” said Bud Freeman. “In recognizing these species, we recognize how quickly they are becoming lost as extrinsic barriers are breached by human activities.”

Bet they use these two bass as a reason to further restrict fishing, or issue fines. Will they be on the endangered list soon?
