Looks like a northern longear. Red on ear tab like found on redear to south and pumpkinseed that also occurs in Michigan assuming that is where you caught it. Otherwise it is more similar to longear sunfish occuring further south.

Thanks for the help Mike and Centrarchid. I posted the photo on the Michigan Department of Natural Resources page and they tryed to tell me it was a pumpkinseed.I've caught enough of those over the years to know it had to be something else.
