<p>I caught it yesterday. The pond i caught it in usually has really nice looking water, and the fish that come out of it have amazing colors, except for this one and a few other ones i've caught out of there.</p>

<p>What time of the year did you catch it? Fish can display muted colors in colder, or dirty water.</p>
<p>If I had to take a guess, based on this one picture, I would say female.</p>

<p>Also, would this one happen to be a female, since it has the lack of colors?</p>

<p>Chris, Tony hit it on the head. A big redear sunfish, great eating and a real fight.. They do have a hybrid Crappie They will grow to around 5 pounds, but they are real. Found them:::: they are a mixed between Black and White crappie which increases growth..They are all female but are sterile.</p>

<p>looks like a healthy Redear to me, where are you catching these fish? If you are luck enough to find these in healthy numbers they will get large like Crappie as well. </p>

<p>Chris, that looks like a Redear Sunfish to me. Not a hybrid at all, but another species of panfish. Most times of the year, they are usually caught on or right near the bottom. Referred to as "shellcrackers", because they are equipped with pharyngeal teeth, or plate, which enables them to crush the shells of snails, and smaller bivalves.</p>
