Great post and fish. Good job Blues! Side Note: Are the fish spawning or fixing to spawn in your area?

Are the fish spawning or fixing to spawn in your area? That's a question for more knowledgeable people like yourself or Banker..... They seemed late turning on out here in West Texas, been a slow spring. They are off the bank for the most part in 5-6ft water in the high 60's and slow bottom techniques are working best.....so maybe they are bedding out a little deeper since the water is so clear? The males have really turned on the colors lately!!! Some of the female greens and bluegill look fat!!! I'd say they are either spawning now or really close, what y'all think??

Great post Blues and some super slabs. I do not target sunfish but based on other post looks to me the spawn is fixing to start in your neck of the woods. I think they might be staging for spawn. Just my two cents.
Side Note: Those Green Sunfish look like they may have some Bluegill mixed in! They are some "Chunks". So are the Bluegill. I learn a lot reading the post in this section!

Gitter Done, you could very well be right on them being hybrid. Hopefully somebody will chime in and let us both know.... Posts in this section will educate you for sure, lots of knowledge shared by some of the best gill fisherman in Texas!!!!

In your second post 1st fish I'd say green/bluegill nice slabs

In your second post 1st fish I'd say green/bluegill nice slabs Plus #1.(Agree) Green Hybrid on your first fish second post. I would also say there might be a couple more Green Hybrids as well. Side Note: One thing to look for is the mouth of the fish. If the mouth is more like a bass it's a Green. Body of a Green,and the mouth like a Bluegill is usually a Green Hybrid. The Hybrid in most cases will usually have a smaller mouth.

That is some excellent fishing you all had. These are perfect examples of GreenXBluegill. As Chuck says, a larger mouth indicates some Green DNA, but also look at the fins, the edges will be White, Orange or Yellow on Greenies and that trait passes thru to hybrids.
Don't worry about the mule, just load the cart

This is what I love about this section of the forum! Some good knowledge here!
