I went fishing at Watauga Lake in northern East Tennessee yesterday. After catching a bunch of nice bluegill for the dinner table, we started catching a different species of sunfish. They had much larger mouths than the bluegill, (hard to see on this small one) but still retained that dark spot at rear of the dorsal fin rays that bluegill have. After looking at my Peterson Field Guide, I think they were possibly Greens or a hybrid, but wanted to ask you NANFA folks for some input. The bigger ones had white edges to all of their fins, and a solid white pelvic fin with an orange edge. Very attractive fish.
