What kind of hybrid is that?

[MudCat08]

Just fishing for some catfish bait this weekend when I came across something I haven't seen or more importantly caught yet!
what do you guys think this is?
a bluegill x green sunfish hybrid?

Thats cool!
I dont know myself, but thats a good guess. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greengill_sunfish

they look similar to what you caught

that really does look like it! mine shows the male bluegill colors on its chest

Its half Pumpkinseed.. I would say its a pumpkinseed/green hybrid, maybe a dark pumpkinseed/bluegill...
