Yep, definitely a bluegill. Ear flap black all the way to the edge and dark spot at the back of the soft dorsal give it away

 

[andyjs]

dont know what it is but its NOT a bluegill kids

Why not? If you don't know what you're really talking about, don't tell people who do that they're wrong...

get your facts straight, nuggets. it has already been said its a bluegill. once again, I own one myself, I think I would know what they look like, unless of course you say so, right?

Why not? If you don't know what you're really talking about, don't tell people who do that they're wrong...

[nuggets]

THATS A WHITE CRAPPIE

as an adult, yes! thats obviously a juvenile bluegill, stop questioning people with the experience needed to properly identify them! Mine is about 5 inches long and it looks identical to that! don't tell us that we are wrong when we know what we are talking about

and yes, you still need to get YOUR facts straight

 

[bonkoland666]

thats a crappie*

 

[le patron]

THESE are juvenile bluegill to show you what they look like

 

[le patron]

this is just plain ridiculous, now people who clearly have absolutely NO experience with sunfish identifying are throwing out random, unsupported guesses. there is no way that is a crappie. it is a bluegill-period.
