LL, do you notice any yellowish or orange margins on the fins, or bueish streaks on it's cheeks? If not, what leads you to think it's a HBG vs. a Northern BG?

Take a look at the sunfish primer in the archives. http://forums.pondboss.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=92482#Post92482

Cecil, thanks!

Esshup, I was just going by it's mouth gape as it seemed larger than others, but I also hadn't caught one that big before. But after your comments of the orange margins, blue streaks, looking at the link you provided and looking closely at the other photos I took, I see none of those (GSF?) traits. I'm still learning on ID'ing fish so thanks for naming those!

I also did not expect (my) Northern BG to get that big, stocking them May of 2013.

My excitement level just increased dramatically!
