You can't see in the pic but the anal fin was blazing yellow, as was most of his belly. Plus his mouth is just a little big for a bg and has the blue stripes on his face. The stringer was just to keep him from escaping until the pictures were done. He was released. roadtrip

Anytime you have some kind of border on the opercular tab you don't have a pure bluegill. Other things on this fish stand out big time as a hybrid as in shape of the opercular tab, the large size of the mouth and of course the bright pelvic fins. Is the bluegill component coppernose? It looks like it. Last edited by Cecil Baird1; 07/24/10 03:20 PM. If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
