Looks like a Green sunfish too me:???:
And why is the kid holding it laying down?
June 23, 2017 at 6:47 am #1700503I was going to say a green sunfish too.
I wish they would fix the picture thing.
June 23, 2017 at 7:49 am #1700519I would say its just a dark green. A giant and a beautiful one at that.
June 23, 2017 at 8:22 am #1700524That is a very nice green sunfish in spawning coloration.
They often hybridize with other sunfish species, but that one appears to just be a large green.

This is not a rock bass. Rock bass do not have an ear and they have a different fin structure. (see picture) Very nice fish! I love the smile

This thread kinda kills the ongoing green sunfish joke.

Crap, that’s the only reason I said Green Sunfish.
I had no idea what it was.
Well at least someone woke up the kid holding it.
Real GillPosts: 1February 9, 2020 at 3:10 pm #1913693Green sunfish are commonly called rock bass in error. This link attached has an example of a true rock bass. The yellow or orange boarder on the fins and large mouth give it away as a green sunfish. Smaller green sunfish usually have thin blue lines on the cheek as well. https://fw.ky.gov/Fish/Pages/Rock-Bass.aspx
