Just to confuse things more, Here is another pic. I am seeing a variation in these fish, mainly the amount of red on the ear flap.  Hope this helps GW.

is it my monitor, the pic, or does that fish really have that much fluorescent aqua coloring? If yes, I'm floored!

That's like tropical fish quality coloration. Gorgeous.

There is a lot of pumpkinseed in that fish posted by bassandgrass. It also appears to be male. Habitat has influenced coloration.

I want pumpkinseeds.  The fish, that is, not the little kernels that make the ugly orange blobs. I love the fluorescent coloration! It puts a GSF to shame.

That is one very large PS. Have you checked your state records ?
Spawning colors maybe.

I hate to admit it but that is one beautiful fish, and I will concede that it is more beautiful than a GSF. Still you can tell just by looking at it that it is like a high maintenance supermodel. Sure she's great to look at and be photographed with but looks is all she has. The mighty GSF is like a good looking female kickboxer, easy on the eyes but will kick you like a mule if you try to control it. Besides I think I left the keys to the Deathstar at a bar in Texas. Anyone find some keys with a GSA logo'd key chain attached?
