Pulling some numbers out of the pond. These ponds all had both BG, RES and Green sunfish in them. My initial thoughts are a hybrid between the RES and greenies, but just wanted to get some other opinions as well! Hopefully the photos will show up, if not I will try to get them to.

I believe I am seeing yellow Pelvic (ventral) fins and orange-ish opercle tabs. That sounds (looks???) like RESxGSF to me.

Yes those ventral fins had yellow/orange on them. I figured they were a hybrid, just couldn't tell for sure if they were between RES and GSF or BG and GSF. Glad to know I was on the right path either way!

I'm gonna go with ewest, 99% sure those are GSFxBG.

Good to know! In the future, what are the best signs that it is a bluegill hybrid vs a redear hybrid? Are there any good cues?

The signs are more typically identified by the outline of the fins having a fine white, yellow or orange color signaling GSF is present.
