To be honest, I'm not sure if it's a perch, red ear, or what exactly to call it...something in the panfish family...

And more importantly, something that needs to be cast into a composite/plastic material and hooks attached!!!!

I found it at San V...floating at the surface. It was still barely alive, so I figured it might make a good picture fish for some trophy hunters who like to custom paint their baits...
