X2 never seen or tasted one but I'm all in favor of no waste... Fish Fry...

Warmouth and Green sunfish are two different fish.

If you're eating them it really doesn't matter of course but otherwise it may be helpful to be able to positively ID a fish before possibly killing the wrong species.

yes, i know. i just mentioned green sunfish because it's the other commonly caught invasive sunfish with kill-on-catch orders from NJ DFW. they look very different.

Ah, okay. Sorry for the mis-understanding re; your post.

As an avid fishkeeper, I've read tons on native fishkeeping in aquariums. I've read Warmouth's make great pets, better than any other sunfish genus'. I'd not heard of them being in NJ waters before this thread. Interesting to know.

Is that Sturgeon Pond? Ive heard they are in there. Also some in Gropp's. They gonna out compete all the other panfish species. Sunnies, crappie, chubs etc.

Caught a 9.5" warmouth in NJ yesterday evening. Too bad they can't be entered in the NJ Skillful Angler Award Program under the sunfish category. That's the second one that I caught this year.

That fish is a first for me also, I'm glad you added a picture cause I had no idea what they looked like...LOL
