First known photo showing bluegill, bluegill/redear sunfish hybrid and redear sunfish!!!

And by "known" I mean that I personally don't know of any others. ;-)

What, no pictures of the gill rakers? Just joking, very nice Bruce, thank you for posting.

I looked and asked around to see if there were any other photos like this, but I couldn't find them. They probably exist, but they're kept in a vault in Switzerland.

Congrats, Bruce.

These fish are all age-3, and the hybrid came from a pond stocked with male bluegills and female redear sunfish. It pellet trained very readily and was in excellent body condition.
