      ...if it looks like what you saw with your eyes instead of the darker light of the camera. Cool?

      I can save you a little time actually, though I know..take any opportunity to fish LOL, but I'll tag you in a blert I have that shows a Bluegill at that same ...more angle but better light. You tell me..

      @wyldechylde77 haha alright i guess ill just have to go catch another and get a better picture then

      ..that angle, I can tell its a Bluegill. Mouth size, colors on the breast and body, gill plate and fin borders (or lack of) etc. It is a Bluegill, but if you don't ...more wanna believe me, no problem. 😉

      Well, I can see very clearly based on a lot of features that it is in fact a Bluegill. Not to mention the fact that I have worked with and caught thousands through ...more the years (I'm 37). Even from..

      @ChrisA yeah your right. Warmouth is in the genus Lepomis and Rock Bass is in the genus Ambloplites. Both are sunfish

      And that blueish color on the gill wasnt really as blue as it looks in the picture

      @wyldechylde77 i dont think its bluegill this picture does t really shot the colors very well i have caught a few bluegills and they look a lot different from this ...more one they this one was a lot greener

      @ChrisA Yes sir. Been happening a lot around FS lately haha.

      @wyldechylde77 thanks for the confirmation. I was pretty positive it was a bluegill. Sometimes when you look at sunfish for too long you can over think it.

      ...species. The closest species to a Rock Bass is the Shadow Bass, which is basically the southern equivalent of Rock Bass. Warmouth, though also panfish, are entirely ...more different altogether. 😉

      @ChrisA @hunter_nessen @SwampMafia Hey guys, it's a Bluegill. I can see the orange-yellow underbelly and the gill colorations. @MusicCityBass Rock Bass and ...more Warmouth are two completely different...

      @hunter_nessen I agree. I'm leaning more towards bluegill the more I look at it. @wyldechylde77 can help us ID it.

      @MusicCityBass a rock bass and a war mouth are both sunfish. They're still two different species though.

      No doubt it's either a greeny or a blue gill it's obviously one of the two.

      Green sunfish have yellow and or orange on their lower fins. Did it have a mouth that was larger than a bluegill? Bigger as in double or triple the size?

      Now that i just looked up green sunfish im guessing thats what it was. I didnt even know that was a species of fish until now!

      Sorry the picture isnt great the sun was making it difficult to get a good pic. I also caught another one 75 yards away about the same size

      I pulled it in and it looked like a huge pumpkin seed but i know its not it is greenish and had large fins and big spines

      @ChrisA i know a rock bass as a panfish. Are you talking about a striper?
    22. ChrisA 0
      @MusicCityBass war mouth and rock bass are two different types of fish. This fish is definitely neither a rock bass or war mouth. From the picture it looks like ...more a green sunfish.

      @Dreed97 @hunter_nessen warmouth and rock bass are the same thing. Thats either a rock bass/warmouth or a green sunfish. Its hard to tell from that angle
    24. Maxrealtree 0
      Yeah definitely not a rock bass. I'm thinking it's some type of sunfish
    25. hunter_nessen 0
      I agree with @Dreed97 definitely not a rock, it looks like a sunny

      Maybe a war mouth? Or some type of sunfish. But it's not a rock bass.
