Thread: Redear??

Yeah top fish is a Redear

Ya I know top fish is.

Wondering about the fat bottom one.

Just what we call a bull bluegill

Here is a red ear

Ya G that is same as my first pic, except ours dont have the red which I heard is common.

I have caught planty of big Bull Bluegill but they were dark and more typical BG color and markings.

This one was weird color and big eyes and a lil red on the lobe.

TY all.

Red ear and bluegill will mix when spawning. The bottom pic looks like a bluegill. Here is a pic of a cross between shell cracker and a bluegill. This occurs naturally. The local TWRA lakes at Williamsport have quite a few of these. A TWRA Fish Biologist confirmed this as a cross between the two.

The bottom fish looks like a typical bluegill to me. On the lake I fish bluegill vary a lot in color depending on time of year, but the red on the lobe does make it interesting.

Alphahawk that's one beautiful fish I would like to catch one of those. Was that one caught in the spring?

Yes in early spring. Those TWRA lakes at Williamsport have quite a few of those in there. I would fish those lakes more but the road to the lakes is limestone and the dust is as fine as talcum powder. Gets all inside your vehicle.
