Here's something that may help identify it :
Looks more like a Grass Pickerel, according to the markings.

Now you have piqued my interest. Upon a closer look, it may actually be a redfin. I have searched the Internet, including Outdoor Alabama. While OA lists grass pickerel in Alabama there is no associated information suggesting grass pickerel in Alabama. While the picture is inconclusive there does appear to be a red tint on the fins. Bottomline: I am no expert, but thanks for turning the thinking cap.
