Default Fish ID?

A buddy of mine caught this thing in a lake in N Jersey this evening. It was 9" long, and put up one helluva fight on ultra light gear and the mouth was big enough to fit what looks like a 3/0 in it

To me, it looks like a cross between a pumpkinseed sunny, LM bass, and a rockbass, but who knows what it could be? I also though maybe a cichlid of some sort on steroids?

Can anybody ID this thing?

I'm pretty sure that's a green sunfish. The turquoise on the gill plate is a dead giveaway.
