Lets Start A Post Your Fish Thread.

wouldn't that fall under stress. I use to raise fish in a tank, when you move the fish out N into another tank..the temp, water, you know what i mean. All those chem.you put in the fish tank..
Anyways the fish gets stress out..so the color changes.

If they're changing color within the hours, it's stress. The two smallies a page back is b/c of location.

Stress? I don't think so. We are talking about colors that change permanently, right? Not just something that changes for just a few hours and back. If it's stress, by the time you have pulled the fish out onto shores, the colors would be natural again?

I remember Bill Dance talking about it. It's like active camo. Predatory fishes can change their color to blend in with the surrounding better. The two fish are different because of the environment they came from. The light color smallie may have come from milkier water. Like basside said the darker smallie may have come from dark mineral rich water. I've seen the St. Croix and it's wayyyy darker than our rivers. Your guys' lakes often have a red or brown tinge whereas ours have a blue/green one.

Example lake Minnetoka, i fish there for eyes. Well the water is very green, when i catch eyes there. They are very green conpare to the river were the eyes are a lot more yellow ish.. so tat part is true.but if you put a fish in another body part of water the fish can become strees out due to it's water dentsity.

here in the great lakes they run up the rivers in the fall to spawn and come in close to shore to feed on bait fish

does the great lakes go all the way to the ocean?

[addisonlee]

I've always wanted to go salmon fishing...

If you're ever in Sheboygan, WI let me know 

does the great lakes go all the way to the ocean?

The great lakes is connect to the Atlantic Ocean through the St. Lawrence Seaway, but salmon are not native to the great lakes. It was actually a collaboration of all the states and Canada to release Pacfici strain salmon into the great lakes around the 1950s to control the alewife/shad population that was rapidly growing.

Interesting fact isn't it?

That bass is HUGE!  What's it eating?   

[fish4keep]

I swore.. like I almost know you..Fish4Keep ... Where are you from? LOL BTW, don't you people work at all?

Im in Santa Ana, CA.  I lived in Hanford, CA for 2 years (HS 10-11.5 grade).  I think you're from around there (Visalia/Fresno) since I saw a post from you about Three Rivers.  It's the weekend and I like to get out before everyone spook the fish.  That's the best time to fish these big bait.

The lake I caught it from is full of food for them to eat.  There are shad, bluegill/redear/crappie, crawfish/dad, smaller bass, duckling, and stocked trout.  Now if you're referring to the bait that I was using?: it's an 8" Huddleston swimbait.  Awesome and livelike in a ROF (rate of fall) 5 (slow sink) trout pattern.  Check out some of the vids on Youtube on it.  Freakin Donkeys caught on them.
