    (names in order of attach)
    Texas Cichild (really cool looking)
    Shiner (not really sure)(rainbow like, good gar bait)
    Sunfish (beat up lil guy
    tilapia (nice looking blue colored)
    Green SailFin Molly (out of 30+ mollies i caught only 1 was male)

        The shiner is Cyprinella lutrensis. They may be great bait (:() but they're also great aquarium fish.

        Awesome catch! Did you keep anything?

          i love the look of wild mollies, also the sunfish looks like a warmouth, they dont get too big and are super cool looking in a tank. the tilapia was a strange catch but cool looking.
          good job on the collecting. and great pics.

                  myjohnson, no i didnt eat anything i heard tht gar is really good but i could stab throught its armor so i let it go lol.EaRtHeAtEr the tilapia was super cool it was my favorite catch i caught it with the male molly, if i had a extra tank i wouldve kept it.Tiapan the wild mollie was really cool i kept it as long as possible until i ran out of bait...(the rest is history)), the sunfish/warmouth was cool but he was really beat up half his tail was gone...Mzungu i tried to keep these once in my 10 gallon but they died the first night. the turtle in the pics was caught ina weird way i thought it was a fish cause it was putting up a good fight it was hooked in the corner of its shell , the lil guy was 6 inches in diameter, and nearly took my finger off when i tried to pick it up, does anyone kno wat kind of turtle it is?

                            if anyone wonders why tilapia are illegal..........do not release your unwanted pets into the wild.period.
