"I never would have guess that. When I think of south I think warm air and sunshine."
Do you love big bluegill?
A dozen short 6 to 7 inch gills today..
Not sure what species these are....all the gills I caught today looked like this.....Pretty fish but all were short like this one as well...

Thanks Jim...as you suggested, this fish has several indicators that lean hybrid....the red eye, the striped cheeks like a Seed, and the body coloring like a bluegill....no telling!

cool fish jeffrey-has the color and markings of a small mouth bass.we get rock bass warmouth croosses and other weird fish up here.especially the nuke lakes where they stock heavily and the year round warm water screws up the spawning cycle.a lot more hybridization than we think.the illinois river is full of hybrid stripers 8-12 pounders.they do not naturally reproduce and they were never stocked there.no one seems to know where they came from.

Hmmm, the ones I see are paler, with almost a blue tint. That may be due to the tannic waters we have up here in this part of the river.
I does have the long body form of the redbreast (compressed), but it lacks the elongated gill flap and the red eye is not a trademark of the species. Im saying its not a redbreast, but may be a localized hybrid.
Im not good at this identification stuff, anyway... its all pretty much a crap shoot with me.

Thanks David....you fish the Edisto pretty often so do you think redbreast?

Thanks Guys....I've read alot of articles talking about redbreasts in the Edisto River Mark.....I just don't catch enough of them to pinpoint them....It was interesting that each one I caught today was just about the same size.......

The Edisto is known for it's redbreast which is what this appears to be.

Any ideas on this fish from the Sunfish Identification Gurus?
