Well this was my summer 2023 trip

@@TheFishingNomad I figured , just teasing. Looks like it was great trip. I enjoyed my visit to Thailand a few years ago.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Thank you. Much appreciated. There is so much beauty and diversity in the world that I love seeing everything our planet has to offer. Tennessee actually has the most native species out of any state in the US. If you really got into microfishing you could pick up well over 100 species without leaving the state. I do get jealous though every time you catch a white crappie. I still never caught one of those.

Thank you. You'd be surprised at what kinds of places that look inhospitable actually hold fish.

Unfortunately, no, I haven't.

Thanks. They were neat.

It sure was.

I'm the same way.

I'm in😁

Tough to say as I haven't fished that many. I would honestly have to refer you to this video from i_fish. The guy knows his stuff and hasn't let me down yet. Check out this video: th-cam.com/video/1vl6bym9Hl0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=bZrXr6vKtwASUZ_g

These recent videos are actually from last summer. I've been back in the US for a while now.

Shrimp.

Thanks. I think their range is shrinking which is why Utah lists them as protected, but this river has more of these than any other fish species.

Nice. Congrats.

@@TheFishingNomad thanks been trying for past 2 months

Kind of if the middle, but more east. This is roughly 10-15 miles west of Krome Ave.

They're definitely cool.

Ehh, not really. Maybe about as good as a small bluegill.

Dzieki

What about hybrids?

How do tell a hybrid apart from regular sunfish since they interbreed frequently in some waters

@@Mateogreat Well the fish will have features of more than one species. You can see if this video helps: th-cam.com/video/cS8s0GYd5ZE/w-d-xo.html

In south Florida it tough because we only have four sunfish species bluegill, spotted sunfish,warmouth and red ear I suspect I’ve got some red ear bluegill hybrids over the years

Where did you record the 216 species from?

@@TheFishingNomad It's a project I made. However, TH-cam refuses to let me share the link or how you can get there lol. My replies get auto-deleted all the time

That's too bad. How'd you do there?

@@TheFishingNomad a bunch of puffers and Russel’s snappers

@@fishincheap1102 Oh nice. I've never caught a puffer there.

I don't know about better sensitivity, but I was mainly trying to catch some bottom dwelling species. I tried to get my bait as close to the bottom as possible here which the dropper rig wouldn't really allow me to do.

Haha thanks. Just want to make sure I make the most of my time and money. I might never be able to make it back to this part of the world.

Thanks.

Thank you. It was a nice variety.

Description and the actual video states that it is the fishes most commonly referred to as sunfish, the species in the lepomis genus.

That is true. They are in the same family, but this video was for the common sunfish aka lepomis genus sunfish.

I'm just letting people know because alot of people don't know that bass are in the sunfish family

@@JamesWhite-tg4kw Correct. We should also specify that it's black basses (largemouth, smallmouth, Suwannee, etc.) and not striped bass, white bass, or peacock bass.

Right 👍

If you call green sunfish warmouth, then what do you call warmouth? Also, its not a cross or anything.

@@TheFishingNomad The warmouth you showed we call rock bass Every book I read growing up had the same imagery. Red eyes, dull colors. Black spot on the back of the gill. Mouth of a small mouth bass, speckled like a crappie. Even now if I google rock bass it shows the fish you call a warmouth.. not trying to bash ya or anything, I did enjoy the video.

@@mrgbs7168 I understand that. Didn't think you were bashing it. What do you call rock bass? I know people call different species different things, but I used to most widely accepted common names in the video. Also should've used binomial names to clear up any confusion.

@@TheFishingNomad rock bass. The one at the end of the video, to me is a baby rock bass. They can get around 10 to 11 inches.

@@mrgbs7168 Here's the binomial name. What do you refer to these? Ambloplites rupestris

Yes I think that would be fine. I have a 6'10" ML/XF St. Croix Legend Xtreme that I like to use for that and it works well. This would be even more on the lighter side than that, but for some finesse bass fishing, especially on small rivers, I think it'll be great.

I haven't really noticed that, but I think you're right. Good point if you're fishing for food.

@@TheFishingNomad I've seen it consistently with bluegill vs. pumpkinseeds in Michigan and bluegill vs. redears in Florida, so I assume it's universal. The hybrids also seem to be reasonably chunky.

Thank you. The shrimp goby was my favorite. My main resource is Jiayuan (instagram.com/sgmultispeciesfishing?igsh=MWhtdmQ4bjhxZW10cg==), he really knows his stuff. I also use Reef Fish Identification Tropical Pacific (www.amazon.com/Reef-Fish-Identification-Tropical-Pacific/dp/1878348604/ref=asc_df_1878348604/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693363595110&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17706573622032539579&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9051808&hvtargid=pla-385375025167&psc=1&mcid=90157ff87d593bd48bb41bfe101cba67&gad_source=1). It's a solid book, but still missing many species.

@@TheFishingNomad thank you for the references. May have to see about going there.

@@TheFishingNomad i know him from inaturalist he knows everything about freshwater and saltwater fish in local waters very smart dude.

@@johnaufderheide6117 It's well worth it. Probably the best country for multispecies fishing out there. It's so small, but has so many species. Where are you from?

@@BANDITFISHING Yup, he's helped me a lot with fishing in Singapore and IDs from all over the Indo-Pacific as well. he knows his stuff.

Mostly true. Warmouth also have a very large mouth. I think they're even bigger than green sunfish.

Thank you.

For some situations, it's fine to just clump them all in together like calling them all "bream". For other situations though you need to be able to differentiate between them. I like how they're all different and unique so I like differentiating them any time I can.

Thank you. This was certainly a solid session.

Yup, like a super colorful saltwater bluegill.

Salt.

Thank you.

It was certainly a unique fishing experience. I catch a couple more mudskippers in two of the videos coming up. They pounce on the bait on dry land with some solid force. They're fun fishes to catch.
