Need help identifying fish... Florida freshwater.

I know Freepers are a big help in these hobby areas so I thought this would be a good place to ask. I've been fishing here in central Florida lately. Mostly in the smaller lakes and ponds that dot the landscape. I've been catching some decent fish but for the life of me can't figure out what I've caught. First I thought a small bass but the more I look online the less that seems to be the case.

Is there anyone here I could email a couple of pictures to and get their input? I don't have anywhere online to post these other than a facebook account.

Jesus... Always someone being a smart ass... I already said I looked and wasn’t looking like what I thought it was. If you’re going to be an ass, why bother posting?

Agreed. There was a time you could ask folks who share interests and such. Now it’s like a Youtube discussion.

A tilapia perhaps? They seem to have taken over in some spots.

Everytime I’ve been to Florida the news was filled with fears that some bozo may have released piranhas into the wild.

Last time I saw a mouth like that, it had a hook in it!

Thought maybe bass, but the dorsal fin doesn't look right. Shape seem to elongated for Sunfish/Blue Gill. Perch didn't seem right either based on color. But anyway, any thoughts on it are appreciated.

Then look for "Florida nonnative freshwater fish". You haven't caught a new species.

Well, that’s just creepy.

Did you eat it?
