Darryl,
Same here. Look like straight Green sunfish to me too. A little dark maybe but that may be due to other factors. That's a big one for a green sunfish! One can tell they are growing fast due to the small fin sizes.
If you could send me two I'd be glad to mount one up for free for you to cast another one up of the same size for the Pond Boss Jesse West Endowment fund auction next year!
I've done a bluegill for the first auction here and will finish up a large redear (shellcracker) soon for the last show that will be auctioned off on the website. The next fish I want to do for the next Pond Boss convention is a green sunfish, but I'm not sure I can get a decent sized specimen up here to cast. I prefer to do reproductions for the auction. The casting would be done by a specialist in Wisconsin but I do the painting.
