Nice perch and good eating!!
Nice perch and good eating!!
Hi, new to the forum here. I caught this guy a couple of weekends ago and was wondering if anyone could help me identify it?
I know its a sunfish but in looking around im having a difficult time figuring out whether its a redbreast sunfish, a hybrid, a regular bluegill or something else entirely. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Looks like a bluegill to me.

All caught Oct. 28 2023 on different soft plastics:
A bass jig trailer used by itsefl did well for many species:
Hadn't use the Beetle Spin in years and figured why not give it a go. Note the straight tail used on the right.
Sassy Shad belly cut off to give the lure a slimmer profile and better body shimmy.
Curl tail was ripped off by a pickerel, but that didn't affect the fish that struck it like no tomorrow!
I then made other similar shapes from grub bodies poured from grub molds:
Who knew such a simple shape would catch fish?!!
