    Green Sunfish.

    Actually, I think it looks like a bluegill sunfish.

    Neat. Fluke of nature. I remember getting into a mess of some that were similar near Motley. We called them steel.

    The head and mouth look like that of a Crappy.

    No really, it looks like a hybrid.

    looks like a sheephead / sunny hybrid, very rare, very expensive.

    Bluegill, probably female and a little bleached out due to where it was caught.

    I think that’s a Marlin, actually.

    We used to catch a lot of them ( Also around the Motley area ) some were almost white. We nicknamed them Moonie fish. We still catch a few of them from time to time
