I have a couple fish that came out of the above mentioned pond. I'm wondering if they are pure green sunfish or hybrid. Have been putting all hybrids I catch out of our main pond into the old pond, so these could have been some I put in. Or, they could be some of the original fish from the old pond.
Fish #1 I put back in the pond as I thought it was a hybrid. Mouth did not look big enough (to me) to be pure GSF. The next three pictures are all of fish #2 and it did not go back into the old pond. If it was not pure GSF it looked to me to be very close to it. Very large mouth.
Would like some opinions to the species or hybridization of these two fish.
I want to keep the hybrids to grow them out to nice fish, but want to remove any pure GSF. On the smaller fish I don't seem to have as much problem telling the difference. The GSF large mouth and more slender body compared to a BG seems obvious. But was having trouble with these larger fish telling if they were hybrid or pure GSF.
