Here's another interesting catch. The belly was so dark, it looked like a purple-black. I assume it's a standard bluegill, but other than being extremely dark, his chest was huge. The length wasn't anything spectacular (like it'd grown as long as it could), but I expected more length before the chest bulked up like that. I'm lousy with guessing, but it was probably under half a pound, and maybe 6-8 inches. Any thoughts on why?
I would say bluegill, possibly with a bit or more of copperhead strain. Size looks like heavily populated small water stunted and possibly pretty close to the maximum size possible there.
coppernose cross is highly likely on the purple hull
