Thread: Hybrid?

Looks good no matter, what his genes are! Nice!

I really enjoy those that like to give a good fight. Nice fish !

cant tell much from that angle but I think its mostly a pure bluegill .
sure is a nice one too , congrats

It was a good fish, but colored different than most of the coppernose I get. The tips of the fins had a bright color like a mix of tan and orange and the brown that was on his chest(?) was more prominent when he was first taken from the water. I agree, they’re all beautiful. This one just showed some different colors than most. It would be cool if I had a cameraman to capture what I speak of.

The one lake here in TN......that I can fish with copper nose.....has them colored like that. While I may catch some that length they are nowhere near as heavy as what you catch. Still fun and as you say very beautiful.

We get some CNBG males with orange tips.

Ok, so it’s just a pretty CNBG. The colors are outstanding when first removed from the water. I’ve seen video of mahi-mahi that are colored up strong, but ten minutes later are unremarkable. The transition happens quickly. I just wondered if I had stumbled into a crossbred fish in my little domain. Thanks for the answers everyone.
