Maybe Cody can chime in on this one, but I think I know what he'll say.

I'm just guessing, but I think it will be something to the effect that the eartab is messed up in some way and that it's hard to be certain from the picture.

It's just my opinion, but I've been looking at bluegill and redears that size for the last five hours at my farm, and DonJovi's fish bears a strong resemblance to a redear sunfish. Maybe it's just late and I'm delirious.


Holding a redear sunfish is like running with scissors.
