Lepomis gibbosus
20 cm long, spotted in Santa Colomba lake.
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll take a minute to collect some other information about this specie!
It took a bit of Googling but I think what you've found is a pumpkinseed... I thought it was a cichlid at first. Pumpkinseeds are invasive to Europe, but might explain its visibility.
