Those are some nice gills!

I caught a few that large in Florida when I lived there, none that big up here though. They sure are a blast on a UL with 4lb test.

Wow, whatever they are, they're some monster sunnies!

I think bluegills or hybrids. Green sunfish are shaped more like rock bass: bigger mouth, not as flat.
