Interesting Sunfish

<p>One of my favourite fishing holes is a little polluted creek near my house. It has a water inflow from a&nbsp; nearby canal that leads to some pretty interesting conditions. The hot, murky creek water mixes with the cool, clear canal water in an eerie&nbsp;looking whirlpool packed with scum algae. It is an interesting spot as I have caught a white sucker and a bowfin in the same day there.&nbsp;It has some weird looking sunfish, and&nbsp;I am not sure that I am identifying them properly. The local creel survey only found bluegills and pumpkinseeds, though I no for a fact there are also green sunfish in there. The canal connects to lake ontario, so may have anything in it.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[img]http://i.imgur.com/cFfhrXV.jpg[/img]</p> <p>This one looks like a bluegill, but the opercular fla is much too large and doesn&#39;t have the black spot on the dorsal fin. Would it be a longear?</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[img]http://i.imgur.com/TUdDLY2.jpg[/img]</p> <p>[img]http://i.imgur.com/U8TdUP5.jpg[/img]</p> <p>There are tons of these. I will catch plenty of them with anything (caught one on a sinker). They look like green sunfish or pumpkinseeds. Would you call them hybrid Green Sunfish x pumpkinseed? Which would be strange because these make up the vast majority of the fish there.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[img]http://i.imgur.com/rnJvpqe.jpg[/img]</p> <p>This one I caught a while back. I&nbsp;was told it was a green sunfish x Bluegill, but I m not sure. The hint of yellow on the fins, along with the black belly make it look pretty cool.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Sorry about the links. I played around with the image button for a while, I could not figure it out.</p>
