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,

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 .

Wow! Is that from your Pond? Im on the way.

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.

Looks like dinner!! WOW!

That's a beauty!! I like those big bluegills.

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