    Default D10 - How do I identify hybrid bluegills?


    Matt,

    How do I tell which of our bluegills are hybrid and which are regular? I would appreciate any feedback you could provide. What is this one?

    Thanks,

    -jr

    I would hang the crappie poles up if I could catch Bluegill like that, Wow that's a bruiser of a bluegill. Pound for Pound the strongest freshwater fish swimming in my opinion.

    That is a nice Bluegill . We catch some Bluegill/Redear crosses and some people stock ponds with Green Sunfish/Bluegill crosses .

    That is a fat blue gill, a hybrid is lighter in color. Great catch!

    That is a bluegill. If it is a hybrid sunfish species it will look like a combination of its parents. So if it was a redear/bluegill cross, it will look a little like both of them.

    Wow.....That bad boy would fill a plate up.... I agree I would put the crappie poles away, and build me a worm bed also.
