Do you love big bluegill?

Top 2 are same fish. Pic on right shows ear tab is short. One on right makes it APPEAR long. Bottom fish does have a long ear tab and I think it is a Redbreasted Sunfish. Need help with both!

Having done some research on the species, I believe the top two to be long-eared sunfish

RBS on bottom for sure

I fully agree with Jim on this one. I would also like to get my hands on some Red Breast sunfish as I have not seen any around here.

Don't know for sure, but I think the top two are long-eared sunfish and the bottom fish appears to be a nice red-breasted sunfish. Any help out there, guys?
