    Default What kind of fish is this?


    I was at a farm pond today that is stocked with crappie and bluegill. the fish in the middle is a fish I have never caught before. It had the bluegill "ears" and a crappie like body. The picture doesn't do its size justice, it was about a 10 inch fish.The red around the gills was blood not coloring. What kind of fish is the one in he middle?

    Thank you

    Crappie bite twice a day. 15 minutes before I get there and 10 minutes after I leave.
    The two loudest sounds are a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and one that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.
