So I found this old photo from awhile back and I’m still unsure what exact hybrid this is. My best guess would be that atleast some part is longear, but all my longear hybrids I’ve photographed never looked anywhere near as unique as this hybrid. This is a list of the species I know were in that pond: redear, longear, bluegill, orange spotted sunfish, green sunfish, and Warmouth. I’m sure it’s some combination of the first 4, I’ve never heard of redear + longear before but if that’s a possibility please let me know!
The fish was found in the Assiniboine river during the summer, it seems to be more of a bottom dweller.
