One very nice hybrid.
The perch looks like something I would catch.

One of the finest gillcrackers I've seen. Outstanding!

I would like to nominate Dustin Pratt as the most honest man alive.
If my grandson caught a 3.95 pound fish it would be a 4 pound fish !!!

Saturday me and my boy caught a few nice ones!! Here are a couple of pics for that. Brett had a blast Saturday he caught several BG but this was one of the better ones. The Bass were biting also I caught like 5 or 6 in the 3 pound range. Here is one of them they all looked in GREAT shape!

Thanks Eric I love watching my boys catch fish! Brett sat and fished with me for over 2 hours and never once said anything about an electronic anything!! It was great!! They don't realize just how much they really do love it! I told him he will remember this day for a long time and he couldn't wait to go again!! RC

Today's catch: the large (BGxRES) I'm fascinated by the ongoing thread Shorty and others have going right now helping identify mail and female RES and the wonderful pictures on it. I'm seeing small variations in the color and intensity of the color on the tab of the pure RES but still cannot figure out how you can tell by the ear tab the male vs female RES. The pictures and the labels help and I hope someone keeps the pictures and tutorial coming! Then this fish was posted and is called a 'gillcracker' or BGxRES. Can someone teach us how to see that this is a hybrid and where are the RES features? I don't see colored ear tab at all, maybe slightly larger ear tab? It looks like a big bluegill to my very untrained eye. Maybe it is the size of the mouth that gives it away? If you scroll down from Theo's great picture to the nice bluegill posted by Snakebite in the next post they look similar to me. IF someone can help that would be good. Maybe it is one of those things you get a feel for only after studying hundreds of pictures.

It's finally happened !!!! I broke the record that I was initially shooting for, a panfish over 8". RES solid 10", weight 15 oz. Never physically seen a RES or BG this size in person, just pics of what all you guys catch. Yaaahoooooooooo....... After this one, I still can't even imagine one getting so round like you guys show.

Ok well this Saturday was a pretty good day on the pond. We culled a few bass caught a few nice BG and had a fish fry. Cant beat that. Here is a nice 9.5 incher I caught on a 4 inch worm! Here is a cage we made to keep fish in until we get enough to have a fish fry it works great! Here we are using the new cleaning table we made up! Worked like a charm! Then that evening my mom caught a real nice Bass she was excited her little rod and real almost didn't get it in!! It was a blast!! Course we let this one go back. But we kept 5 others that were smaller. Then of course the best part of all!! Grilling them fish baby!!

I think that RES looks female, but curious to hear what others say.
CC, you asked about Theo's photo of the gillcracker, check out the "cheeks" on that fish... See the mottled pattern? Pure bluegills do not display that. The opercular is shaped a little differently than what I would expect to see on a male BG of that size, and the overall pattern of color, body-wise, appears to indicate another influence as well.
That's what I see anyway....
