You're both in PA. I wonder if it was the same hatchery?

Although as Bob says a reputable hatchery should know better, I've noticed as far as anglers are concerned in parts of the northeast I've fished in , they put bluegills, pumpkinseeds, green sunfish etc. all in one group and call them "sunfish." Maybe at least one hatchery does too?

In Massachusetts where I lived as a kid they go as far as considering all "sunfish" trash fish and cuss out even a big one if it hits their line while they are fishing for trout or bass. An avid New England bass angler told me he would be happy if i caught every last one of them out of a local small lake. In retrospect I should have asked him what he thought the bass eat.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
