It looks like a white crappie / yellow perch hybrid. I've never seen stripes on a crappie or sunfish.

Going up to beautiful Merrymeeting Lake tommorrow in search for some catch and release salmon. Any suggestions on what to use and where to fish? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks fellas.

That there is a fine smallmouth! Pat on the back for him. Nice job!

BTW> Beautiful Bow Lake shot. A must visit.

I like the sound of 5 pounds. I gotta get me a digital scale. Thanks .

haha. The sippy cup! We had my daughter with us. She's a real champ on the boat. She stays nice and quiet 'cuz she doesn't want to scare the fishies away. Every fish we pull in she just HAS to pet it. Such a doll.

My scale read 1 pound which I know is wrong. I weighed a 5 pound weight on it later in the evening and it read about 1 pound. So, I know my scale is screwey. She had a gut on her. What yall think?

My only catch that night.... shorecasting the Salmon Falls River, Rollinsford, NH .....topwater with my Mann's Baby Bass 1 minus. Smallmouth.

One of my girlfriend's catches. Not bad.

My girlfriend's biggest of the day. (I think ever)

My biggest smallie for that day.

My biggest for the day.

We caught these on Bow Lake, Strafford, NH. Between the two of us we landed 15 bass and I personally lost 4 pole benders. Enjoy. PS: Catched and release was practiced thoroughly and all bass swam away strong.

I've caught plenty of large pickerel and I'd say only 10% of them got away by chewing my line. It could have been a pickerel. When they get that large the fight slows (not that they still don't fight like hell) down and they tend to move towards cover or deeps. Just my opinion. If there isn't supposed to be carp there, then there probably isn't. I dunno.

What about Russell Pond? Not sure if there are bass but you could look it up. For good bass fishing you wanna head east toward Conway and hit up Conway Lake, Chocorua Lake, Silver Lake, and Ossipee Lake. I'm heading up to The Kank in mid July and stopping at Ossipee Lake on the way. Good trout fishing up there though.
