Hmmm, didn't know they were that far north! They are plentiful in the Okefenokee swamp and some south GA lakes. They are called "mudfish" down here also. They will put up one hell of a fight though, lots of fun to catch.

Is that a fake "eye" on his back fin. Must be a defense mechanism.

Males have the black spot their entire life, females only have it as a juvenile. Not sure what significance the spot has but a fake "eye" seems reasonable.
