great looking gill!

Comment by Jeffrey D. Abney on April 13, 2014 at 6:48pm

Yep.....most significant marking and the reason they are called Coppernose.......a vibrant band of copper in the forehead..........gets very pronounced during the spawn.....I'll post a brilliant copper.....

aha...I take it they get bigger. What are the identifying characteristics?

Comment by Jeffrey D. Abney on April 13, 2014 at 6:44pm

Florida strain bluegill.......it is a sub species

Comment by sean kerley on April 13, 2014 at 6:40pm

what does it mean when everyone refers to a coppernose bg...is it actually a subspecies?

Comment by dick tabbert on April 13, 2014 at 6:40pm

Nice coppernose Jeffrey. We don't have them up north here but looking at the tail looks like it could be a little more challenging than a gill.
