Looks to me like a pumpkinseed (Lepomis Gibbosus)

I saw a pic of a pumpkin seed and it was similer but I thought that the color was diff.
 
It's a longear sunfish Lepomis megalotis, not a pumpkinseed. Very pretty fish, I am in the process of getting some. I cannot collect them myself here becuase they are a threatened species.

You are right I just checked our geological survay and it shows that they are abundant in Indiana and I found this pic.
