of late. Good Punt Returner, runs great routes, has great hands and is a good blocker. Still excited to see Chuck Sizzle back but
TI sure just does the small things to help us win.
But that is cool taking those gals fishing. What kind of fish is that? A croppy or something? I only have trout around where I live.
Crappie*, not Croppy. Hate the misnomers that have been parrotted around for fish for decades (not your fault, Nate lol: it's a problem here in Canada too), but Crappie are related to the fish in the pic.
And the fish in the pic is a Pumpkinseed (the most-commonly found Sunfish in NA).
Almost every single body of water that is part of a river watershed here in Ontario (so only pool-like lakes, that have no inflow/outflow, like what you guys have in the Mountain states, are not part of rivers), has Pumpkinseed in it. If your hook is small-enough, it is easily the easiest fish to catch in North America lol.
EDIT* actually, on a second look, that looks like a Bluegill (notice the blue spot around the gills)... which is the second most-common Sunfish lol. These are everywhere from Lake Simcoe and east, in Ontario and there are a few lakes around the Muskokas (where I normally fish) that hold them.
They grow just a bit bigger on average than Pumpkinseed, though they fight MUCH harder (but since they are still small, they don't put up much of a fight lol).
