Trying to correctly id res. Do res always have the red flick? I have caught some that are definitely res but others not sure. They were caught in a smb and res pond only(supposedly). I have some in my pond but sometimes can't tell between young bg or young res.

I have seen pics where I don't see the red flick and almost look like a bg.

What I have seen the body patterns and color is the biggest difference. I think spawning males tend to have the red ear. Dont confuse with a long ear though, as they have color too.
Check out some youtube videos. I have some pictures I need to get posted of a read ear also!!

Yep females have a more subtle orangish ear tab edge. Don't forget pumpkinseeds also have red edged ear tab.
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

I have some in my pond but sometimes can't tell between young bg or young res. Small BG and RES are hard to tell apart, the red ear tab on RES often doesn't show up until they are 2-3" long. Here is a picture of RES next to GSF or HBG.  A small RES with a barely visibly red ear.  A small RES without the visible red ear.

Those redear are about all the size I can find around here to stock. I wish I could locate a lake to catch some so we could add some advanced size RES to a few ponds.
Thanks for the pics.
