Is it a Bluegill??

 

[BigManAquatics]

Did you catch him?

I think it’s a green sunfish.

Did you catch him?

Yes. My wife’s grandmother has a stocked pond on her property. We also caught some smallmouth bass. I’ll release this one in a day or two.

I caught several and put them in tanks. I returned them back to the pond after a week.

Not a Green, it's a Bluegill. Very nice one, too. Greens are more elongate and always show vertical bars.

I wasn't really sure. When it came out of the pond it didn't show much color or pattern, but when I release it yesterday it had some.
