Ummm.... looking in my North American Fishing Club book right now. Full color photos of all the fishable sunfish in. If that is not a pumpkin seed then it is some freak of nature that just happens to look exactly like one in EVERY way and live in the EXACT same area, scary.

that site shows population of a state as a whole and not the smaller areas or in idvidual lakes in the states, the site i listed shows red ears on the map in a very small part of NY

Dude what is wrong with you. Drewish just pointed out that the link YOU provided says there is no record of a redear being caught in NY. Give it up.

Here, learn to tell the two apart properly rather than just compare pictures.

Redear

sandtiger;2560170; said:Pumpkinseed is the only option. Its not a redbreast, bluegill, longear or green and those are the only other Lepomis found in New York.
PSEED X REDBREST is what I'm thinking. they like the same habitat. so it would be more likely they would cross breed. that would explain the large ear flap on sum of thees fish.that being said the proof will be in the picks. with all the fish i have got in this lake i guaranty you it is not a pure pseed.
If you caught this fish in a lake, it isn't a redbreast or part redbreast as they are a riverine species.
drewish;2560258; said:Remarks: Robison and Buchanan (1988) reported redear sunfish as widely stocked in Arkansas in ponds and reservoirs, presumably in native waters. Menhinick (1991) listed this species as "regarded as native but possibly introduced" and "introduced" into the Catawba, Yadkin, Lumber, and Waccamaw drainages. Stauffer et al. (1995) differed with other authors (Lee et al. 1980 et seq. and Jenkins and Burkhead 1994) in reporting this species as native to the Potomac, Big Sandy, Kanawha, and Little Kanawha drainages, and Ohio basin. No records exist for New York (Whittier and Hartel 1997).
that's from the link YOU provided...

You didn't put anything to rest, the majority of the people in this thread agrees that the fish is a pumpkinseed, that is exactly what it is. Quite trying to make it something its not.

I don't see anything about that fish that would make me think it is a redbreast or part redbreast. Even if the lake has multiple species it is possible it is just a pure pumpkinseed, fish prefer to breed with their own species.
