Nice trip snowman.

Depending on how bright and vibrant the colors were you may have been catching long ear sunfish. They get confused a lot with pumpkinseeds.

Yeah, I have yet to see a true pumpkinseed in TN. They were all over MN.

I catch the little pumpkinseeds on Old Hickory mostly when using crickets

and almost near shore line.

Or maybe all this time I have been catching that longear but these guys are always little bitty.

Yup they are Long Ear...thanks for teaching me something Travis!!

Those long ears always look like an aquarium fish. Just a cool fish.

I'm with Mike, I don't believe I've caught a pumpkin seed since I left Michigan.
