The fish is a redbreast, they are easily confused with the longear sunfish. I don't think I've seen a longear in my creek, but it's possible maybe downstream a few miles there could be longears. And it can't be a pumpkinseed, their body is much wider proportionally than the redbreast. There's a creek on the other side of the mountain from me called Crooked Fork Creek that contains (or used to) pumpkinseeds. I've never seen a pumpkinseed over 6".

Most people call this redbreast sunfish either redbellies or sungrannies. The female has a yellow belly, they're easily identified. Would like to figure out how this one I caught the other day had such a big mouth. It wasn't a purebred rock bass or redbreast, never seen anything like it in my life.
