Did a little more work on bluegill/sunfish patterns ...  The second one looks way more grey in the pic than in real life ....it's somewhere between moss green and gunmetal....ill just go straight moss next time ....

I'd throw ALL of those!! Each has its different subtleties just like in nature!! Very good paint jobs! I caught one of those "green sunfish" yesterday on Pines with more Red in it than I've ever seen before! Usually they have more "blue" but might have been some cross breeding going on.

Thanks! Rare(at least for me) to see an anal fin so vividly colored!! It has the "hump" above the eyes of like a regular blue gill so this might be a 2nd or 3rd generation crossbreed!
