    Default Fish Identification please


    It amazes me the different color combinations I find on the lowly sunfish .
    Some are pale , while some are bright and beautiful.
    I caught this one this morning on a 1/64 jighead and Bobby Garland Itty Bitty SwimR in black/chartreuse. Using my new 6’ St Croix Avid Panfish UL .
    I don’t remember ever catching one that looks like this one . The bright yellow bars make this fish spectacular IMO .

    This was my Monday meet up with my fishing buddy .
    We caught green sunfish , bluegills, small spotted and LM bass and this beautiful fish .
    The water has dropped and we were standing on rocks today that we caught greenies out from under last week .
    We’re having to change tactics.
    From fly tackle to spin tackle . I fished mainly jigs , my buddy fished his favorite lure , the roostertail .
    Weather was beautiful, light winds , from high sixes to mid seventies when we left to go home .
    Pics of the unknown and a pic of my largest green sunfish of the day .

    Looks like a Longear Sunfish to me. Could even be a hybrid.

    I’m thinking hybrid also .
    Put up a fight like a shellcracker. Caught a shellcracker in the same spot about five minutes apart .

    Pretty fish, and I can’t help with identifying him. Brilliant colors.
