Was recently out fishing a small local lake with family and the kids caught some of these.  The lake is supposed to have bass, pumpkinseeds, bullhead and trout.  There was a definite difference between these and the pumpkinseeds they were catching.  Anyone know what this is? Seemed like a cross between a bluegill and a bass

Warmouth?

No, how about a Green Sunfish?

Greengill sunfish



I didn't know these existed until this thread, I was google image searching warmouth and this was one of the replies... much closer to what you have.

Crazy how many different variants and hybrids of sunfish there are. Can't keep track of them all.  Never noticed these in this lake before but there's definitely a lot now

We refer to those as 'Rock Bass'
Lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way!

Def not a rock bass.  Used to slay those as a pup.  Am down with green ear…

Way too dark for rock bass.

It's a Greengill.

I'm leaning towards the Greengill now.  That's a pretty little fish!  Also learned from this thread that what I've been calling a Warmouth is actually a Rock Bass.  All fun to catch!
