Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Caught this at a little local lake in South Texas. Looks like a bluegill to me, my friends disagree. Any opinions?

Wow! You have a real good shellcracker there Steven. Did you per chance measure it?

Giant spawning female red ear! Great fish!

It looks like a shellcracker Steven and a big one at that.

Looks like a crappie at first alright. But definitely redear..a mutant version that is.

1st glance it looked like a crappie, I agree with David cross between a red ear and a crappie.

That's a nice shellcracker.

Nice Redear!

I don't know what it is but at first glance thought it was a crappie till I looked at the smallness of the mouth. HOW ABOUT A CROSS between a red ear and a crappie.? I don't even know if that's possible .

that is an enormous redear sunfish... like enormous. also known as a shellcracker.
