    What exact species of fish is this? I think it's a hybrid green sunfish but not certain. Only reason it matters is meets criteria for master angler.

      I catch most of them on worms vs crickets...and sometimes a beetle-spin to provoke a bite when they are spawning/on beds this time of year.

      They are very good eating...has mild flavor. The meat is bright white compared to bluegill or bass, also not as fishy as those.
