However, the gold fish is not a shellcracker, aka red ear sunfish (RES). RES have a little red (males) or orange (females) on the end of the dark coloration of the gill plate. It looks like a female bluegill (BG) that lacks full coloration. 1 ac pond LMB, BG, RES, CC

Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color. Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.

One thing that is has me puzzled is I'm not catching any LMB that seem to be from this years spawn sau 8" - 12" in length. One acre pond built in 2007.

You have to test the genetics to be sure. Sometimes there are visual hints but even then it is a wild guess. If it�s a 15 lb fish then you are fairly sure it has some Fla genes. Here is one way but it may not work for crosses - Count scales on the lateral line. The Fla LMB has 69-73 scales compared to the northern LMB�s 59-65.
