lol. If I knew it would be such a big stink I would've taken it and put it in my pond. I could've charged people to come and stare at it... When I caught it, at first I was like, oh, it's a crappie, I'll give it to those guys, and then I asked em if they wanted it, and I looked at it again, and I was like wait a minute... But it was too late then. I considered the oscar possibility, but it didn't really look like an oscar either. The best description I can give is crappie like body, only slightly thicker. Coloring seemed to be darker, with larger black splotches than a crappie. Fin configuration was much like a bass or crappie. Mouth was about the size of a redear (in relation to body size). Teether were short and sharp, like a spotted bass in freshwater, or sand bass for those familiar with saltwater fish. Fight was about average, maybe a little tougher than a bass of that size.
