nice fish! the second looks like a green sunfish or a hybrid

Bxn, the second fish of the ones I posted is indeed a hybrid bluegill (cross between a bluegill and a green sunfish).

HOW MUCH THEM PIGS WEIGH ?:scratchhead

I just bought a new scale last week. And it was working great Monday when I did a pond consultation in Alabama. But it rained in the morning on Tuesday, just a very light rain, and I forgot to take it out of my truck bed and put it in the cab...So when we caught the hybrid that afternoon I tried weighing it, and it was about a pound off. I need a waterproof digital scale but most fishing scales are inaccurate; Boga-grips are accurate but don't come in digital.

I would estimate the 11" northern-strain at a pound-and-a-half; the hybrid would've weighed two pounds or close to it. The 10.5" northern-strain would've gone between 20 and 24 ounces.

Do the hybrids tend to get bigger than the bluegills?
