Great Bluegill!

This is the redear I caught Saturday (12"). Please note the "red ear".































The world record redear is over 5 lbs, caught in Arizona.

Great fish! With the exception of the color on the ear that looks in every other way like a red ear to me; body shape, mouth, body coloration/pattern. Perhaps its lost its pigment in old age or just been a little different from birth? Females do exhibit less/duller colors and if you look at picks of state records many of the largest are loosing their ear color. Could of course be a hybrid.

I notice the redear in that link doesn't have a red ear, either.
