So many people get warmouth(goggle eye) and green sunfish mixed up. I bet I have seen 10 pics so far this year alone of green sunfish, sometimes 20 on a stringer. And they post them on various FB pages as warmouth. SMMFH. Pumpkinseed(shellcrackers) get big and yea that chart is accurate. Fliers can get as big as sac-a-lait.

Goggle Eye are not Warmouth. True Warmouth identification only has Warmouths reaching a maximum of a few inches in length. Goggle Eye are Green Sunfish which have a substantially bigger body. I think the confusion comes with 1) the name, as Goggle Eye do indeed have very large mouths and 2) Most pictures of Green Sunfish do a poor job representing the color patterns seen in South Louisiana.
