That middle pictures shows some well defined beautiful coloration. My bride and I took some.kids from church to a local pond fishing yesterday and filled a bucked with some very nice gills like you caught. They took a bath last night in hot grease and the kids devoured them!
cant eat them from down there , the river is extra polluted , and that fish in the middle is a long ear cross to a bluegill is my guess , not a straight run bluegill for sure .....some of them river fish are just really pretty ....:cheers2Quote:

That's a colorful hand full of gills. Dog days of summer are certainly here and with the warmest weather and water maybe the fishes are uncomfortable. Been bass fishing a lot this past month and most bites are in shady areas with brush. Only biting early, tough bite after 8am. Had four yesterday by 7:30 and didn't get bit again and left at 9. Too hot for me and maybe the fish feel the same way.
the river gets all the runoff from town , it might look clear and pretty , but boy howdy is it a cornucopia of chemicals in that water .....Quote:

Great colors on those fish!

Yes, river pans put up that little extra fight. Our creeks and streams are all off limits for eating. I pretty much just stay with salt water.
