I call it, "Wow.." Such beautiful coloration that you can't help but to adore.

Your fish is definitely a more typical looking gillcracker than this one Jim, but also has a big mouth.

Thanks for the input guys! It's definitely a bluegill x redear hybrid, or gillcracker, most likely female, as tony said, and in this particular lake the redears have larger mouths for some reason. Must have just been the original stock or some feature of the lake that made that advantageous. Tony got me curious with that F2 stuff though because it sure doesn't look like any gillcracker I've caught before.

could be alot of things jacob,looks a lot like the ones i catch in the forest preserves.could be a mutt.we don't have the best management or stocking programs in no illinois so could be a hybrid of a hybrid of a hybrid.

I think the fish is "shaped "like a Redear....long body, projected nose. Definitely some BG in there, though. The mouth almost looks larger, like a HBG would...that could just be the angle I'm seeing it from I suppose. Does seem to be a little bit of a border on the dorsal fin, but the pelvic fins are hidden.

Tiny red dot on the opercular, like a Pumpkinseed would have, but I don't see any other Pumpkinseed markers.

 

I'm guessing a Redear x Bluegill cross, possible female, and a generation removed... (F2) backcross.

I gotta agree with Jeffrey on it being a gillcracker.  A n
