Fish sampled with Scott in June 2014 I assigned GRES hybird ID due to darker coloration of sides and lack of blue stripes on gill cover.




Fish caught from dock Spring 2014 I assigned BGG or GBG hybrid ID due to fin coloration and blue stripes around eye and gill cover:




Fish from this weekend - I think we have a individual match on the fish with the damaged caudal fin - appears the same fish Scott and I sampled:





About the only thing of which I'm sure is the presence of GSF genetics. I'm still leaning towards GRES on top and bottom fish [1,2,5,6] for reasons stated previously, but I'm no lepomis expert.

One possibility I haven't posed yet is a GBG-BGG/RES hybrid, which is entirely possible in my fishery. Have at it, let me know your thoughts.
