It might be that other one they have over there... E. collis the Carolina Darter... its a kinda swamp darterish thing... but... I've seen collis in hand before (and in photo tanks) and they have that dark kinda hashy markings on the side ad get all dark like that in breeding colors... so that would be my bet.

Hey, your camera actually does work and store pictures! haha. Those the only pics that turned out? None of the lowland or bluefin killies? You say poor quality, I say 10000x better than mine!
Nate: Yes, swamp darter.Out of the range for the Carolina Darter.

I have more. None were all that great. Between bad fins, poor lighting and a sucky camera operator, these are the best of the rest. Matt, they could still sense you on my nets. We caught a lot of species but not a whole lot of any one thing.

Only one I can think of that is missing from the list and that was the big bullhead, cant remember what kind it was though.
And I don't know why I haven't paid as much attention to the lowlands. I'm really liking those.

I'm not feigning modesty here, but I have to say I don't think my fish-b-gon mojo has that much staying power. I blame the tiger fan.I have more. None were all that great. Between bad fins, poor lighting and a sucky camera operator, these are the best of the rest. Matt, they could still sense you on my nets. We caught a lot of species but not a whole lot of any one thing.
Some of those fish would've been lifers for me. The P. stonei are pretty, as are the F. chrysotus, E. okatie, and E. fricksium. Let me know when you hit the lowlands again, because as much as I want to see some of those guys, if I'm left on my own I'll head for altitude every time. Can't resist the mountains...

Continuation of trip by myself this past weekend. No gators this time but a very large cottonmouth instead. Has anyone else noticed that the creekside cottonmouth is never just a normal sized snake? They are are huge, or maybe they just seem like they are.
Species seen include the following but the day seemed to be dominated by pygmy sunfish and juvenile pickerel.
Blackbanded sunfish
Bluespotted sunfish
Dollar sunfish
Bluegill
Warmouth
Spotted sunfish
Everglades pygmy sunfish
Banded pygmy sunfish
Tadpole madtom
Speckled madtom
Yellow bullhead
Redfin pickerel
Swampfish
Mosquitofish
I'm sure there are some others I am forgetting.

Neat stuff, Dustin! Good pictures and I love those swampfish.
As for streamside cottonmouths, they are the second largest of the cottonmouth subspecies. The only larger ones are the ones that turn up in your dipnet!

Those are just the ones you're noticing. The smaller ones are all around you too.
