Help identify a couple of these fish.

If I could remember the lake or pond where I caught them I would have a better idea. That's what happens when your memory starts going. lol

I'm sure this is a bluegill because I caught it in a Michigan lake.

This fish was taken in Alabama but I can't remember where, One of the ponds I fished has both copper nose and regular bluegills. It is however darker than most bluegills. What do you think?

This fish came from down south and I'm pretty sure it is a shellcracker and I think you will confirm that.

I'm not sure about this one, but I suspect it is a copper nose. I think it came from Georgia.

Anyway it was something to do on a cool rainy day. My river is almost over its banks after the last 3 day warm up and most of the snow is gone too. Snow is in the forcast for tonight. Cabin fever!

On the positive side, the high water will draw the steelhead up. The river is closed until April 1st, but that isn't far away.

1. Bluegill (Possible cross/hybrid or on a nest like Bruce said)
2. Bluegill
3. Redear
4. Bluegill

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.

Regardless of color they are all beautiful fish... Well done indeed.
