Description
The pumpkinseed (Lepomis gibbosus) is a common freshwater fish. It primarily feeds on insect larva and other small invertebrates, and also has the reputation of being quick to bite fishing bait. Children on fishing trips often like pumpkinseed fish for that reason, but serious fishers consider it a nuisance.
