Caught this in my pond. 7", very fat. Put him back. I think this is a green sunfish?

I'd lean towards a coppernose ID as well. If you use your imagination you can almost see a little colored tail fringing, which is a good coppernose ID.

It has the body shape of a coppernose, which tend to be taller in the shoulders than northern-strain bluegill. At any rate, it's a fantastic fish! Your pond is doing well.

I have coppernose, bluegill, redear, and hybrid. Also, some redbreast caught in the creek. The coppernose should not be that large yet, as I only bought them early this summer, and they were 2-3". Course, that one could have already been there from the previous owner.

You have coppernose in your pond, correct? That looks like a female coppernose to me. Fantastic specimen - you'll have some real trophies in another couple years.

That bluegill needs liposuction. And a support group. Awesome fish, Sharon!

Yes, they are all fat, but losing some weight. I have cut the pelleted food by 1/3 as they were grossly fat, and not eating any of the minnows. I think they should eat some minnows instead of the food I have to buy. The catfish were the fattest.

Is other bluegills fat in your pond? If it is then the pond have a lot of food for them to eat!

I'll bet relative weight on this fish is a solid 140-160! Excellent specimen.
