horned pout

Muddy Pond at N. E. section, well stocked with horned pouts, eels, and shiners.

In the stream also were horned pouts, perch, shiners and that silly little fish we called "kivers," for which my earliest fishing was done with a bent pin.

At length you slowly raise, pulling hand over hand, some horned pout squeaking and squirming to the upper air.

Not to lure the glutton frog From his banquet in the bog; Nor the lazy chub to fool, Splashing idly round the pool; Nor the sullen horned pout From the mud to hustle out!

Willy was happy with three hideous horned pouts, which he declared were the best fish that swam.
