I can't answer that question, Ethan, but I do know that many lepomids (bluegill, greenies, redears, etc.) will have some variable genetics in the form of hybridization from previous generations. I think it's relatively common to see a fish that's got a little green sunfish in him, or a little bluegill, etc. That being said, I'm not experienced enough to tell by looking at Zig's fish. It sure is a beauty, though.

To me this punmkinseed looks weird or seems to have an odd shape. I am from Texas so I dont see those except in pictures. He looks long and skinny. It could just be the shadows or the fact I am not familar with the pumkinseed. One of my fishing dreams/goals is to catch a pumkinseed. Also can anyone tell me what sex this is and how they can tell?
