Also I'm bad at down loading pics so maybe in more than one post.

After looking it up the pictures were all coming up darker brown to black. Fish 1 is that a highbred bluegill? Fish 2 then is that a crappie, they do not look like the other crappie I have caught in another area in the pond no spots. I have caught 9 or 10 that look like fish 2 in the back water ( 6 to 7 inches long ) and 100's of the spotted crappie up by the damn. ( 2 to 12 inches long ) Would of the red ear sun fish have crossed with something else and lost their red ear tab? By the mouth gap I do not think it is a bad fish to have in the pond. 61 acre water shed lake. bass, channel cat, black crappie, wiper, walleye, redear sunfish, blue catfish and bluegill.

Now it is finally at 12 to 15 inches. Only thing is all fish came out of same water in a 2 day period. 61 acre water shed lake. bass, channel cat, black crappie, wiper, walleye, redear sunfish, blue catfish and bluegill.
