Are these immature eggs, a section of fat, a tumor, an abnormality of some other kind? Is this normal? In case you couldn’t guess I do not fish that often and usually fish later in the year, so I don’t know if that is why I have never seen anything like this before.
Ultimately is the meat of this fish fit to eat?
Thank you.

I’m just gonna get right to it. I seriously feel like I’m beginning to become a nuisance to this section…
1) You’re supposed to use an aerator when keeping live bait fish. Define what an aerator is, and tell me what kind I need, please? It doesn’t need to be anything elaborate, and it does need to be economical.
2) I have my regular sport fishing license with no additional validations. The only one that I would need (excluding report cards for certain species) is the additional rod validation. But my question is, do you truly recommend this? I know its totally personal preference, but what about you? Do you have this. The only reason I’m thinking about getting it is for trolling purposes, as well as being able to use two different kinds of bait/lures/fishing methods at once, and therefore, catching more fish. It seems interesting.
3) Speaking of trolling, how do you use actual trolling rigs(with large blades and multiple hooks)? Theoretically, I can’t imagine attaching one of those to my line and pole, seeing that the rigs weigh a lot on their own, and only increase in weight as more fish get caught on it. So what do I connect it to? NOTE: At the moment, I do not have a motor although that is a work in progress, so keep that in mind when answering this one.
4) Has anyone tried the Berkley PowerBait Crappie bites? If so, does it work? If not, what’s the quickest way to catch bluegill and other panfish? Don’t get me wrong, I love fishing for the thrill of fishing and landing fish, but on days when I want to catch my bag limit first, I would like to do that as quickly as possible, and THEN relax and enjoy the sport.
5) How hard is it to troll by yourself?
6) The pole holders on my inflatable boat (the economical option I had to choose until I can afford an aluminum one) are sort of loose. Is there anything I can do to make a tighter fit? I’m very protective of my poles and gear. Thanks in advance.
I’m not JUST fishing for bluegill, by the way. I fish for a lot of different species. Bass, Trout, Cats, Kokanee, etc. I just prefer bluegill as far as keeping/eating goes.
Also, I’m not talking about regular PowerBait. I KNOW that won’t work. I’m talking about nuggets that they make specifically for panfish. This: http://www.berkley-fishing.com/products/soft-bait/powerbait/biodegradable-crappie-nibbles
I’m asking this same question in the Zoology Section of Science & Mathematics.
I’ve heard of fish hybrids; striped bass (Morone saxatilis) and white bass (Morone chrysops). I know they do it at the hatcheries. How about different species? Let’s say a bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) and a redear sunfish (Lepomis microlophus)? Or a bluegill sunfish and a black crappie (Pomoxis nigromaculatus)? Or a largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) and a smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieui)?
How about an Oscar (Astronotus ocellatus) and the Red-Bellied Piranha (Pygocentrus nattereri)? Would this combonation be possible at all? How?
In a laboratory or hatchery perhaps.
I’ve heard of people making offspring of lions and tigers mixed, why would this not be possible with fish of relatively similar characteristics?
Also I could care less whether or not they were sterile hybrids.

I asked this in the fish section but no responses so far, I figured it may be something a different category could answer better.
We have probably 20 baby sunfish (still in larvae form) right now all in a regular goldfish bowl. I was told they didn’t need an air pump or filter until they were out of the minnow stage. Is this true? Also, when do I need to actually start supplying them with food? and what? Right now they have the lake water and are apparently living on the phytoplankton and zoo plankton from that.
We caught them from a pond in a regular little dip net…so far they’ve lived 2 weeks in just a goldfish bowl with lake water but they are growing and I worry about caring for them as they advance. I’m not sure how to feed or care for them really since they are lake fish and so small
