its a natural occuring pond.MN_Rebel;2157003; said:Yeah the green sunfish can reach more than 9 inch long, are they hatchery strain or just wild type green?
You've got your species flipped. The blue facial markings and yellow/cream fin edges are typical green sunfish features not found in bluegill. Bluegill also have a smaller mouth and taller body than greens, and a long black opercular lobe (from which the common name comes). Both bluegill and green sunfish reach lengths greater than a foot, with bluegill being a little more massive at a given size.gangster;2186497; said:THat is NOT a green sunfish. THat IS a bluegill. See all the bluelines around his gills and the yellow on the tips of his fins. THey have larger mouths than sunfish/perch and they get larger as well. We have those all over the lakes and ponds in CA.
