not a perch That subject was already addressed on page 1 of the thread. Since that time when people come up to me and ask me what I'm fishing for I say "Bluegill and Sunfish". Every one of them looks at me and says "Perch"? LOL, it is what it is.

Looking at the Freshwater Aquatic Species section of the TPW Web site I would say the fish resembles the Warmouth the most. Just my opinion. Side Note: Nice fish.

Thanks for the response guys. My thoughts were Warmouth as well. It has a mouth the size of a Warmouth and the color pattern. But there are so many hybrid species out there I will often send the picture to TPWD to confirm.

Jamie the more I look at it I would go with a Longear. As we talked about the other night It could also be a Hybrid between Bluegill/Longear however I am leaning more towards a Longear.

[quote=J-Moe]Not a perch Is this a Bluegill and Longear hybrid? Aweful long ear on this fish but it has the bluegill color pattern. J-Moe, I believe Banker is right, I think it is a Longear as well. Longear have many variations in color. I have seen pictures of Longears like this but never caught one, my usual spots have different looking Longear than this one. And honestly it lacks several bluegill characteristics. I caught a couple today that are Bluegill x Longear Hybrids Ill share the pics along with a couple of Green Sunfish and Native Bluegill that I thought was pretty. By the way, very pretty fish, nice catch!  Also: I read the rest of this forum and wanted to throw my  in the literal name subject. I call all the sunfish by their literal names and nicknames, its not a crime. I call them perch when Im talking about them in a group all the time. Constantly as a matter of fact. I was raised that way. While it is nice to know the actual names, there is nothing at all wrong with a nickname. There are several nicknames to EVERY fish and tpwd acknowledges them too. I would gladly take anyone on in a fish naming constest, literal and nickname because I know my fish. And yet I still call them perch. My point is its not bad to use nicknames like perch.  Ok now that I got that out here are the pics!
