I found a bunch of pictures from my last job working with wild fish and I figured some of you critter-lovers would enjoy them
Tumblr media
The angriest red-eared slider I've ever seen
Tumblr media
mmmmmMMMMWWAAAAAAAHHH! (paddlefish)
Tumblr media
A northern pike. These were always hard to work with because they're super slippery.
Tumblr media
Grasp it firmly in your hand (paddlefish)
Tumblr media
"I told you, mom, it's not just a phase!" (bighead carp)
Tumblr media
Long, long man (longnose gar)
Tumblr media
The biggest smallmouth buffalo we caught
Tumblr media
The size of this lad (bighead carp)
Tumblr media
That's a cute kitty (channel catfish I think)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Softshell turtles wake up every morning and choose violence. This one was trying to bite my finger off as I was taking its picture.
Tumblr media
I've never seen a grouchy pancake before (softshell turtle)
Tumblr media
Most turtles are chill. Snapping turtles are angry enough to for the rest of them
Tumblr media
A freshwater drum. These guys make a grunting noise when they're upset
Tumblr media
A bucked o' snoots. Pretty sure we were collecting these so fish and wildlife could tag and release them. (paddlefish)
Tumblr media
A water snake
Tumblr media
A juvenile gar. Just as pointy as the adults
Tumblr media
I have apprehended the criminal
Tumblr media
A bigger drum. This was more around the size we usually caught
Tumblr media
A very shiny river carpsucker
Tumblr media
A very mossy man (red-eared slider)
Tumblr media
Anyone want to play darts? (longnose gar)
Tumblr media
Looking very dignified (painted turtle?)
Tumblr media
Take this, it will be important in your quest (common carp)

Critter fact #96:
Tumblr media
Smallmouth bass often have a vertically stripe along their bodies. This feature can easily be used to distinguish it from the similar Largemouth bass, which has a single horizontal stripe.

images of a smallmouth bass (micropterus dolomieu) my dad caught on a lake in new york state that connects to lake champlain. these fish are an invasive species throughout much of the US and southern canada.
smallmouth and largemouth bass both belong to the genus micropterus, and it can be easy to confuse the two at times. the key identifying factors that separate the smallmouth bass and the largemouth bass are their dorsal fins. smallmouth bass have joined dorsal fins that appear as one, while largemouth bass have a clearer separation between their dorsal fins.
smallmouth bass can also vary heavily in colour depending on their size and habitat. when living in clearer water, their markings are much more pronounced as opposed to living in cloudy water.

Fish at the state fair (booth set up by the state department of natural resources to raise awareness of ecological issues. Hopefully they get to live in a bigger tank normally)
Tumblr media
An alligator gar. They used to be native to the state but were extirpated.
Tumblr media
Gar gang rise up (alligator and longnose gar)
Tumblr media
I think this one's a smallmouth buffalo but I'm not positive
Tumblr media
I had somehow never heard of these before. The people there said it's a bowfin.
Tumblr media
Big old catfish. Flathead I think
