I was bass fishing in north Texas with a wacky rig and can’t find anything online telling me what this fish is Posted by 16healeco
MR_No0dle on April 13, 2026 3:30 pm Hybrid of some variety, green sunfish x something, likely bluegill or pumpkin seed.
_fuckernaut_ on April 13, 2026 3:33 pm Male green sunfish all fired up in spawning colors. Does not appear to be a hybrid of any kind.
jadedlens00 on April 13, 2026 3:35 pm No hybrid. Just a regular Green Sunfish. They can have that gold coloration on their fins sometimes.
sissygwen2 on April 13, 2026 3:36 pm I caught this exact same thing not too long ago!! I have no idea what it is though haha
TD-Eagles on April 13, 2026 3:46 pm Sunfish. Some of the best lb for lb fighters out there. Imagine if these things grew to 20lbs.
ReasonableBridge5623 on April 13, 2026 3:48 pm I dont know, but those fins look cool as hell with the green body
Piglet-Historical on April 13, 2026 3:50 pm Sunfish, not just because of the color but look at the size of the bait and the size of this little jerk. Always biting more than they can chew
Khair24 on April 13, 2026 3:57 pm Perch thought that’s kinda like a general term for these type of fish here in Oklahoma
