Red Ear Sunfish 2019-06-01 - Frankfort, KY - Photo by Pen. It's a free fishing weekend in Kentucky, with Catch a Rainbow Kids Fishing Derby at Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery, 50 Kendall Road, Jamestown. Fishing from 9amCT to 3pmCT; and Kids Outdoor Day, Green River Lake State Park, 179 Park Office Road, Campbellsville. Fishing from 9amET to 3pmET. Wikipedia has this to say about Lepomis microlophus: "These fish meander along lakebeds, seeking and cracking open snails and other shelled creatures. Redears have thick pharyngeal teeth (hard, movable plates in its throat) which allow it to crunch exoskeletons. It is even capable of opening small clams. The specialization of this species for the deep-water, mollusk-feeding niche allows it to be introduced to lakes without the risk of competition with fish that prefer shallower water or surface-feeding. In recent years, the stocking of redear has found new allies due to the fish's ability to eat quagga mussels, a prominent invasive species in many freshwater drainages."
