I think they were all gills, the color varies with them up this way depending on the catch location , water etc. They are usually much darker colored due to the tannin in the water.

Possiblw, but look at the angle of its head versus the others. it is not the same. i usually catch 1 redear for every 10-20 blurgill, so it very well could be a RE
