Thanks Chuck & Coolshot
FYI, I was texting Chuck pictures for weeks so he could identify each species for me. I'm kind of slow for being an Aggie Cajun Engineer, LOL!!!
I was fishing with my nephew the other day and he held up a big sunfish and said it was greenie. I could see the vertical bluegill bars from a distance. I looked at it and it was a bluegill x green sunfish hybrid. He said he didn't even know they hybridized. I suspect that is story for quite a few people, which included me, not to long ago.

 big ole Georgia Giant. There are probably bigger ones than that in that pond depending on its age and when they were stocked! Very cool to get the state record! Congrats, Jamie!

I thought Georgia Giants were a green sunfish x Bluegill hybrid. This one is red ear X green hybrid. I don't think these were stocked, I think they hybridized naturally. Although I have caught bluegill X green sunfish in a different pond on a different piece of property. I'll have to check it out more closely. Thanks for the congrats

Since the gentleman who first tagged the name and breed the fish never released the details on the hybridization has passed, I guess we'll never know. But, there has been a healthy discussion from the pond management folks about it. Some say bluegill/greenie; some say redear/greenie. Some say other.

Fatso Green/Bluegill cross. probably the heaviest sunfish I've ever caught. Looks like a pure green sunfish to me. I have pond which I catch them even bigger than this one. I'll take you there sometime. I might just turn you into a "Perch" fisherman like me, LOL!!!
