A couple pretty ones from Sunday afternoon
Threw a rooster tail, beetle spin, and panfish assassin shad jig in my small pond Sunday afternoon. Caught 3 big gills including the ones below. The orange on the second one pictured was very cool. The picture doesn't do it justice really.

Those are some pretty hybrids!

Is that normal color for a hybrid? Can't say I've seen one before.

I'm sure no expert but that appears to be a hybrid sunfish. The yellow at the fin tip are from the Green Sunfish side of the green sunfish/bluegill cross. Thy are hard fighters and fun to catch.Originally Posted by slabbacks

I don't have any more pictures unfortunately.
I wasn't really for sure which species of sunfish each were. I assumed hybrids because I stocked 3-4" hybrids, coppernose, and redear last spring and there were none already in there that I knew of and I assumed the hybrids only had the ability to get that big that fast. I had owned the small 1/3 acre pond they came from for 2 years prior to stocking those mentioned, and all I had been able to see/catch in there had been stunted 6-8" bass.

Possibly. The pond is mine and other than occasional fish feed, the only chemical I have used on it has been maybe 1 treatment per year of algeacide. However, the majority of the water supply to the pond comes from underground and I believe a lot of that water comes from runoff from a local golf course about 1/4 mile away.
