1. Bluegill (Possible cross/hybrid or on a nest like Bruce said)<br />
2. Bluegill<br />
3. Redear<br />
4. Bluegill<br />
<br />
I fish a lake where the Bluegills coloring varies from one end of the lake to the other. Different bottoms and habitat (i.e. where they hide from predators makes a huge difference) Ever notice that when you keep fish in a live basket for a considerable time their color changes.<br />
<br />
Regardless of color they are all beautiful fish... Well done indeed.<br />

Very helpful, so much in fact, I have a couple more. This is just a guess, but I think this fish is a green sunfish?<br />

This fish I caught in southern Flordia. I'm saying it's a bluegill, but the southern fish seem to be darker than the bluegills in Michigan. Are they a different strain?<br />

Good photo. There's a lot of variability in eartab coloration on pure redears. I strongly suspect a pure female redear, but oftentimes you can get fish that are hybrids that strongly resemble one of the parent species, or you can get a fish that has maybe 1/16 or 1/32 of a particular parent----it's very hard to tell, and truly a guessing game. It's fun, but difficult to prove either way.

This is another picture of the same fish. Looks like the one in your picture Bruce except the gill flap on yours is red and kind of yellow on mine. Could be a cross, but since I haven't caught as many as you guys, I'll leave it up to you. The fish is about 12" if that helps.<br />
