these are likely several generations , like 20 or so years worth of probably stocked back when coppernose hybridized up well with our native bluegill would be my best guess , I think that is what is causing such a huge diversity in the colorations of them , we have managed some out of that spot that are just purple as can be and yet others look just like a native fish , sure are eye ketchn fish no doubt about it
