never seen one before where did you come across this???

 

[Oddball]

Did you get this from a feeder bin? The largest feeder farms are in Arkansas and a common stowaway in shipments is the green sunfish (Lepomis cyanellus).

I have seen these guys come in with feeder fish from Pool Fisheries, in Arkansas, as well!

baby sunfish, i'll bet he's not even an inch long huh?

most likely a green, the "blue gill" will show up when its about 2" long.

good luck! feed lots of red worms and crickets!

Definitely not a green. Looks like a bluegill.

That small it is hard to tell the species, From that areas the possibilities are bluegill, pumpkinseed and rockbass.

Since it has a dark spot on the rear of the soft dorsal fin I suspect it's a blugill. Certainly not rock bass or green sunfish.
