    Default Is this a Redear Sunfish?


    Hi Craig,
    is this a Redear sunfish?Name: 215615_2726304213922_2117283679_n.jpg Views: 613 Size: 107.5 KBName: 16617_2726303653908_1005300455_n.jpg Views: 475 Size: 102.6 KB

    I believe this is one because of the Redear but the other one doesn't have the Redear?Name: 268543_2726304853938_1140217527_n.jpg Views: 359 Size: 38.6 KB

    Thank you,

    Looks like a redear, Joe. The 'red' marking on the gill cover can vary in intensity in individuals and among males and females. Sometimes very noticeable other times nearly undetectable.
