<p>Looks like a Hybrid Bluegill to me... (Bluegill X Green Sunfish cross). I think it may be a generation or two removed from the original cross. (F2 or F3)</p>
<p></p>
<p>It's so hard to tell, though. There could be something, somewhere, in it's lineage besides a Greenie and a Bluegill.</p>

<p>My cousin in Minnesota seems to refer to all small fish as "sunnies." Of course she is referring to members of the sunfish family, and she makes no distinction between the different subtypes, no matter how much I correct her.</p>
<p>Ive also heard of bluegill called "perch"</p>

<p>I think a lot of times there are local names for different types of fish. I know what I call a bluegill people out west call a sun perch or a perch. I always thought that the "punkin" seeds as I call them were very brightly colored.</p>

<p> i catch a few pumpkinseed in the lakes here in louisiana although in the creeks and bayous where there is running water i have caught some real nice pumpkinseed.although i have caught some pumpkinseed in lake chicot where i do most of my fishing ,they are always small,after reading this study i understand why.</p>
