Silver bass.

 :whistling:


We keep them in the spring, when the water is still cold.
Great cooked on an open camp fire.
After, we toss them in hot sauce like chicken wings.
Dip them in ranch too.
(bleu cheese dressing is too thick and the meat breaks up)

White perch taste like crap.   :sick:

we've been getting a few of those every time we fish the mohawk the last 6 years or so.

Looks like one to me, but it’s hard to tell if the horizontal lines on its sides are broken up.

Also sounds like white bass don’t eat fish as much as the summer progresses. I’m leaning towards a wiper.

lot of different terms i see here

the fish pictured is a white bass (morone chyrsops) and i have also heard them called "silver bass"...i have caught them as far east as the hudson river, but most of mine have come from the mohawk river...mostly in the last 5 years.

white perch have no lines (morone americana) and are super common in the southern half of lake champlain and the hudson river.

wiper are a cross between a white bass and a striper - never heard of wild ones in NY, they used to stock them in one or two small lakes tho.

My vote is for White (Silver) Bass based on what I read.  The lateral lines suggest to me it is a White Bass. Based on the article https://www.catfish1.com/threads/white-bass-vs-white-perch.222212/ found  on the internet and discussion here.  Yes I realize I should net believe everything I read on the internet, but the article seems legit to me.

is it a white bass or a white perch?
WHITE BASS (Morone chrysops)



The body is deepest below the dorsal fin and the depth remains fairly uniform below the entire spin dorsal fin.
From 6 to 10 dark lines run horizontally down the back and sides.
When the spiny dorsal fin is pulled erect, the soft dorsal fin remains relaxed.
Each of 3 bony anal fin spines are of different lengths and are arranged in ascending order.
The anal fin usually has I I or 12 soft rays behind the 3 bony spines.
WHITE PERCH (Morone americana)



The body is deepest just ahead of, or at the beginning of, the dorsal fin.
There are no lines or stripes on the back or sides.
When the spiny dorsal fin is pulled erect, the soft dorsal fin also becomes erect.
The second and third bony anal spines are almost exactly the same length.
The anal fin usually has 8 or 9 soft rays behind the 3 bony spines.

Compliments of Seagrant.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

They taste pretty good Bob
If you get them out of cold water AND you bleed them out.
They aren't perch or walleye but they taste better than smallmouth.
