Went fishing at strawbridge lake New Jersey moorestown New Jersey caught a crappy on steroids I think it's pregnant and two small Bass and I'm getting sick of shore fishing because every time I go to set the hook on a decent fish my line breaks or some type of malfunction happens because of the weeds putting nicks in my line when I walk up to the bank of the lake and I'm getting tired of it I probably lose four or five fish a day every time I go out due to malfunctioning gear because of all the crap that I have to walk through that's why I want to kayak but wasn't a bad day but by the time I started catching fish it was too dark so yeah that's how that went

You know what now that I look at it , it looks like a crossbread of a sunny and a crappie. Because crappies are black and silver and are longer right??? This thing ate a three inch rubber frog to!!!???

Looks like a green sunfish. It’s illegal to release them in NJ.

Well, they're both in the sunfish family so I guess it's possible. But I don't think they would willingly cross breed. Probably would need humans to help out like how saugeyes came to be ( sauger & walleye hybrid).

+1 on the rock bass. Never heard of weeds nicking line like that. Make sure you’re using fresh mono. Kind of perishable. 2 years tops even if it’s still in the package. Less if you leave it in your vehicle like I do. Can’t be caught without a rod and tackle this time of year!!
