Wow, goregous fish. So what did you do with it... Did you try to give it a home? Or just throw it back in?

wow, that brings back memories!! I remember fishing for panfish, usually just catching bluegills and perch. Occasionally though, I would catch a Pumpkinseed and I always thought they were the coolest looking fish.

There is a whole flock of those "pumpkinseed" or "sun bass" fish, all are attractive, and easy to keep in an unheated tank, but they are nasty little sods, aggresive as hell.
