I've been lurking for a while, learning lots of valuable information. I've recently starting working on an older pond we purchased and it's full of these sunfish. Most are about the size of these two. We can catch 100 of them in no time with any kind of little shiny hook, Power bait, worms, or grasshoppers.
The problem is I can't seem to identify what they are. My first assumption is some kind of Hybrid Bluegill, but I can't decide what is causing the coloration (orange) on the fins. Some are very orange.
