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

    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.

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

    correct I.D. is hybrid bluegill, they've got 'em in most of the private ponds around here.
    Roaming the banks of the Kankakee River and anywhere else fish might lurk.
