Green Sunfish?
that was my thought…but like I said..not 100% sure
Not a pumpkinseed….I don’t have one of those in my tank either…. 
Here’s the pumpkinseed:
what if you took a little flourescent blue and green paint to him……then could it be a pumpkinseed??? 
BFD never used em for flathead bait either 
it almost looks like… 
…….an…. …..OSCAR?!?!?!?! 
Hey, now the Asian Carp have competetion!!!!!!!! 
It is a hybrid sunfish meaning crossed with a bass – typically used in farm ponds
A cross w/like a Rock Bass?? I’ve caught several of them before.
You could always fillet a Crappie, Bluegill, Perch, Walleye, and this critter. Then fry them up using the same batter and method. Taste test them, and call it whatever it taste like most! 
I didn’t include Bass in the test as we all know Bass tastes like chicken. 
I’m pretty confident that first fish is a green sunfish.
(In Arkansas, it would be a “rice paddy slick”, because due to their extreme resistence to certain pesticides, they used to make up most of the fish biomass of the rice fields.)
After looking at that link, and comparing the Warm-mouth to the Green characteristics to this fish which I don’t have , It looks more like the Green…..
need help on any other fish that you don’t have 
nope…i know the other fish I don’t have
Shouldn’t I win something?{)*&^
I would say that it’s a Warmouth, the Bass / Sunfish hybred type fish. At least i think it’s a hybred.
Uh, I’m telling you its a greeny. I’m a fisheries biologist. It’s my job. Its a greeny. No doubt whatsoever.

My guess is that it’s a hybrid between a largemouth and a sunfish, a buddy of mine has a farm pond with both largemouth and bluegill, and every once in a while you catch something totally in-between, and it looks a lot like that.
Well, if it IS a green sunfish, I have most definitely witnessed that dastardly character BFD using them for flathead bait on numerous occasions!
There ya go. If you can’t believe me, ask any flathead fisherman. Its a greeny. I called them goggle – eye growing up, and I have heard them called lots of other things, and they do hybridize with other sunfish. You can call them Blue Marlin if you want, and I won’t care. But its still a green sunfish. I’m done here.

Both big and little b are taking shots bfd, and he doesn’t even try to defend himself. I’m disappointed in you bfd. Oh well….I guess if ya can’t beat ’em on this forum, then you’ll just have to beat them on the water 
I’m voting green sunfish to. If you want a really cool fish not to put in a tank, get an orange spotted sunfish, There the coolest looking fish I’ve ever caught.
Looks like a bluegill to me. I used to have three of them in my fish tank.
I’m pleading the 5th. or maybe we drank a 5th. I can’t remember. Have I fished for flatheads.? I have fished with flatheads! I have also fished with nuckleheads, dumbheads, dunderheads, deadheads and one time with a s##thead. You all know who you are. By the way, that is a green sunfish.
BFD, I carefully considered all the choices. I can only hope I’m no worse than knucklehead 
If WE drank a fifth, it was probably you drinking MY fifth 
And yes it is a Green Sunfish!!!!
