I don't think these fish are deep enough (from dorsal to anal fin) to be a green sunfish.

Book name ''Green Sunfish'' locally called ''Rice Field Slicks" They make great bait for Flathead Catfish.

we call them yellow belly shell crackers hear in south carolina but that may be wrong but i know it a bream

Waita minute, if the fish do not have the white outline on their bottom fins then they could be hybrid sunfish. A hybrid sunfish is a cross between a bluegill male and a green sunfish female. This picture does not appear to show a white outline on the bottom fins. So I am going to change my opinion.

Do hybrid bluegill have larger mouths? These fish definitely had mouths 3-4 times larger than regular bluegill.

i dont know what is is but it definately aint a regular common warmouth. Those fish as too round lookin. warmouth are normally longer and sleeker lookin. here is a pic of a normal warmouth.

According to Florida Fish and Wildlife this looks like a green sunfish to me. see: FWC - Nonnative Prohibited - Green sunfish

I don`t know what they are but they are not warmouth............... I like the above answers."they`ll eat good" and "dinner" :-)

correct I.D. is hybrid bluegill, they've got 'em in most of the private ponds around here.
