Sorry to waste everyone’s time by posting such a diminutive fish (caught with a live worm). I’ll do better next time. (On a side note . . . does anyone know if this is a redbreast sunfish or a greengill hybrid?)

Is this a Greengill Hybrid or a Redbreast Sunfish? Anyway, I feel like I cheated to catch this little guy from the bank of a private Alabama pond. I used a live worm and a bobber. Oh, the barbarism.

I think this might be a redbreast sunfish, what do you think? I caught it from the shore of a private Alabama pond.

I was checking out an old creek that you couldn’t really get access to because of all of the trees, but when I checked it out today, it was very open and was a beautiful looking creek. This fishing spot was created by the Texas 4th of July flood.
