Had one of the best bream trips ever yesterday. Picture the 10 biggest non-chinqs you've ever caught, then do it on the same trip. Should have kept them all, but was after The White Perch. Caught some huge bluegill, then this,



Things I think it's not: bluegill, Orangespotted sunfish, red-breasted sunfish, chinq, longear, pumpkinseed, warmouth(goggle) green sunfish.

OK, that pretty much excludes everything which can't be possible. Variation of one of the above?

Looks like supper. That's all I've got. I would just call it a bream and eat it.

Looks like a stumpknocker. Can't tell from pic but if the eyes are blue, that is definitely it. We're you fishing around cypress stumps?

That's a head scratcher for sure. When in doubt, bream.

Bream are known to cross breed a lot in the wild.

That looks like a cross between a bluegill and a goggle eye. Has the shape and orange throat of a bluegill and the speckled/splotchy pattern of a goggle eye.

That's my best guess.
