I know BG x PS (Pumpkingill) do not exhibit the PS red/orange spot on the flap.
au contraire. I have a picture on my phone of a BGxPS caught in Lake Minocqua that has the red dot and no RES live in or anywhere near that BOW.
Esshup,
Good catch. There I go making another absolute statement when it comes to fish. I should have said, "I know BG x PS (Pumpkingill) do not TYPICALLY exhibit the PS red/orange spot on the flap."
I have also seen pics of pumpkingills with a small orange spot or white edge on the on the flap.
