Cecil I would expect you to say basically the same things about sexing this 'unknown fish' since you, Bruce and I were co-authors on or Sexy BG articles in PBoss Mag.
My experience in working with spawning male bluegill indicates that as males go through successive spawning seasons the forehead or nape becomes enlarged with age,, none, minimal or slight for young mature males, and extreme nape hump in old large males of the population.
