I'll second Centrarchid's take on bluegills and pumpkinseeds. A big difference between the two species is that pumpkinseeds are less school-oriented and much more territorial. Some bluegills can still get crazy about territories, but it's less likely.
How many bluegill?

Do pumpkinseed fall under genus Leopomis as well? Temps have been pretty frigid here in the CO, maybe we will see some open ponds in february.

Pumpkinseeds common name for Lepomis gibbosus. Take you time, do some more research. You have pumpkinseed in CO as well? What about longear sunfish, it is often confused with pumpkinseed?

We have both in Colorado. Colorado is interesting in that it has many different environments in close proximity to each other. I could catch a landlocked Salmon and a LM Bass in the same day. I could even catch Bluegill and Trout out of the same lake. This next open water season I am going to try to start collecting, but I have never witnessed much diversity in Colorado's streams. I might have to try snorkelling or free diving on some big reservoirs.
