Most likely its a Bluespotted Sunfish but I have a difficult time with telling the Banded and Bluespotted sunfish apart. I have caught lots of adult bluespotted sunfish and have never noticed the banding on them before. Even in the middle of winter when their colors fade. But I was fooled by the juvenile bluespotted sunfish not that long ago because of the bands so I have no idea any more.

Four visiting Floridians disturbed Levi CatfishCain at his work Sat at Lake Waccamaw, NC. He recognized us as "not regular fisherman" and possible NANFAns by our gear and site scouting maneuvers. We had a nice conversation. It's worth noting we arrived at a leisurely 3:30 pm; he ARRIVED at 4 am (when the temp was probably about 42) and was still going strong when we saw him.
This micro-fishing hobby is not for woosies.
