My wife and I went out tonight for an hour fishing for bluegills at a local pond. I had been there once before and caught a ton of fish. Tonight was no different. This pond seems to be the size of a football field and there are soo many fish in the pond, I am suprised they are all able to grow to adulthood without starving. It seems that there are bluegill, green sunfish, largemouth bass and possibly northern longears ( second image below). It was really fun minus the goose poo everywhere. It seems like when we go fishing, I am always rebaiting and hardly catching, but as long as she has fun that's all that matters to me. Plus I get to see some BEAUTIFUL bluegills!

I am thinking green sunfish but kind of resembled a northern longear:

just as a discloser, she will not touch the fish, so that is my hand in each picture lol!

Looks like a fun afternoon! The second fish appear to be a bluegill/green hybrid.

I would agree with Sandtiger's ID. Bluegill x Greenie.

Nice fish, the hybrid is petty cool and congrats to your wife on the largemouth!!

Looks like a real fun pond. My wife will take a sunfish, perch or bass off the hook but not a catfish or toothy critter.

i think my wife would scream if she caught something with teeth lol.. back to the pool!
