Pumpkinseed. Lepomis gibbosus. The defiant.
Small doesn’t mean harmless. The pumpkinseed carries color like a warning and attitude far bigger than its body. Bright fins, bold markings, and zero interest in backing down.
Found tight to shore and impossible to ignore, it’s the fish that teaches patience, curiosity, and respect early. Many first catches start here. Many lessons too.
This 3rdGoat pumpkinseed is for people who know that confidence isn’t about size. It’s about presence.
Bold colors. Sharp edges. No apologies.
Breathable, fast-drying polyester moves with you during casts and hikes, while the athletic cut keeps the silhouette streamlined under a vest or windbreaker. Wear it layered on cool mornings, under a rain shell during late-season outings, or as your go-to shirt for swapping stories and cleaning gear at sunset. It speaks the language of anglers who value function, nostalgia, and a design that doesn’t shout—just belongs to the rhythm of the river.
