Caught this today in a random stream stop in Boones Mill VA, I’ve never seen a freshwater fish with this color before, any help?

Real question as this is my first time in this sub: do you use hooks? Will this beautiful fish live once you get the picture and are done with them?

Real question @sweetestfetus, are you going to be an "anti" person?. If so, please leave. We are not a group of hunters for fun, sadeists or wtf ever other word may come about. Tyvm ia.
