Thread: What kind of fish is this?

I was at a farm pond today that is stocked with crappie and bluegill. the fish in the middle is a fish I have never caught before. It had the bluegill "ears" and a crappie like body. The picture doesn't do its size justice, it was about a 10 inch fish.The red around the gills was blood not coloring. What kind of fish is the one in he middle?

Thank you
