I'm not exactly certain what this is. I originally thought it was Carpiodes carpio but the mouth shot indicates otherwise. I'll just call it "Carpiodes".

This last fish is just one of them Lepomis.

Many of these fish were rather poor specimens but when you have lemons, try and make lemonade

Thanks again for the kind words everyone. Many fish simply would not erect fins for me over the weekend and Matt, just let me know if any photos are of use to you.

Very nice pictures indeed. What's going on in the first pic of you second post? Some kind of fish party?
Thanks Willie.
I don't know about other NANFA members but once I joined, the fish just started showing up in shallow clear water begging to be photographed. We only had to make two passes with a 4' net to get all of the specimens we photographed
Alright....that was a bad joke I could not resist.
The larger fish are impossible to maintain in buckets. This means Mark and I had to either photograph them right away (sort of a pain in the butt to rush and grab the photo gear and set up when away from the car) or we could hold them in this tiny run off water flowing over a nice gravel bed. Mark and I quickly set up a small holding pen for the fish then we continued to sample. Quite a few fish rushed the dam and temporarily escaped but we managed to get all but one fish back into holding for photos.
I really like the fact that even though you know there is a hogsucker in that photo, it's pretty hard to see.

Yeah man, that is pretty smart and makes a great photo! I see the hogsucker, Where's Waldo, i mean J. Edgar.
Nice substrate too.

Man, that Lepomis is stout little feller. That gar is quite a beauty as well.

I think these are outstanding photos. I'm a freelance Science Illustrator, and specialize in aquatic subjects. I can tell you, these are great
reference photographs for showing the anatomical details of fish. This type of photograph is very hard to come by. Please keep up your efforts, and post them.
GREAT WORK.
