Caught several red ear in my brothers farm pond, but caught two of theses fish that look like a cross between a crappie and a red ear. Notice the scale pattern and the body, mouth is rather big for a red ear.
i could be wrong but they look like a cross species fish !
Interesting little critter.
Me. I don't know.
Its a Centrarchus macropterus. We call them fliers down here.
Fish sandwich lol
Say that again in english please or laymen terms.lol

I should have counted the dorsal fin but didn't :( there were several things fishy about that these fish lol
1. The color along the belly was yellowish like a bluegill or red ear
2 the eyes were multicolored
3 scale pattern was just like a crappie
4 mouth was big for a redear or gill
5 length was long for a redear or gill

That's not a flier! Fliers don't have the redear. This is a flier.

Fliers must have heavy vegetation and high tannic acid waters to survive. They are found primarily in swampy waters. We catch them all the time. Your fish is some type of sunfish, but hard to tell after being on ice and without more info.
Maybe green or spotted sunfish, but hard to tell from picture.
Didn't look much like a Flier to me, either. I'm more curious about the rear dorsal fin being pointed, as Fliers and most other sunfish have a rounded rear dorsal fin. Well, except for the Redbreast Sunfish, which does have a pointed peak on the rear dorsal fin.
Ain't no cross species of a Crappie & sunfish of ANY kind, as that don't happen. Could be a cross between a Redear & something else .... or possibly just a Redear with different coloration that normal. :dono
... cp :kewl
Is there a filter on the picture? Kinda hard to tell with it being washed out like that, but looks like a redear.
I would say Redear or maybe a Redear hybrid atleast .
Ugly fish.
looks like lunch to me lol
Female redear. Maybe crossed with another sunfish species.
Sunfish and crappies CANNOT cross. Thatd be like a squirrel and a rabbit crossbreading... Not possible.
