I need to have someone video me cleaning some. On the bigger ones like the 2 in my pic, I fillet the meat off the skin so that the fillet only has a thin strip of red meat. The strip that remains can easily be pinched between thumb and forefinger and peeled out.

Okay, I had the same question about these coming out of my own pond. I did some research and this is how this works. The fish with yellow tinges on their fins and a larger mouth, but a spot like a bluegill are a hybrid. They look like this:

They’re a hybrid from a male bluegill:

And a female green sunfish:

You can pinpoint the green sunfish because of the little green/blue stripes under its eyes and between its mouth and gill plate.

They’re very aggressive, but they also reproduce at a rate that’s 90% male. This means that they can reproduce between themselves but not at a large rate.

What do they call it Hybrid #46? I mean there are Stripers and Walleye hybrids they call Wipers. What's this little one called?

All I’ve seen them called is hybrid bluegill. No idea if it goes beyond that.

Fishing has been tough so far this week. Back to back rainy fronts has them too timid to bite. Found em deep, couldn't get a bite except for a drum. Found a ton of shad, maybe it's that time of year they don't have to hunt. Managed a few out of the weeds, nothing picture worthy. Maybe today's heat will put em in the mood. Guess I'm headed for my honey hole in Kansas.

What are you fishing for

Largemouth.

Largemouth.

We have a small lake here that used to be stocked with trout that has some really nice largemouth and smallmouth as well as giant perch they quit stocking trout several years ago. I haven’t ever caught a smallmouth but know of others that have. The wildlife department I heard shocked it several years ago and said there were largemouth that would break the state record in there. That’s what the lake patrol that use to live there and take care of the place told me he no longer works there he retired. Bluestem the other lake has a lot of good bass in it also I sold my boat and haven’t bass fished it in a few years
