Wanted to see if anybody knew what this was? Tims ford on crappie jig, looks kinda like smallmouth/shell cracker. Maybe a redeye but not like others caught there. Definitely appeared to be full of eggs, released of course.

Warmouth maybe, but it has a red ear like a shellcracker, and also sort of looks,like a green sunfish

 

[CATCHDAWG]

Yep, looks like a warmouth.

 

[RUGER]

I would say so too.
Delicious!

To me, it just looks like another good-eatin' brim.
"Brim" covers all the little fishes like this.

Thanks, almost forgot about warmouth, and I bet that's it. Mean little chunky sucker

Looks like a green sunfish. Look at the large mouth, blue vermiculations on the face and red on the opercular flap.

green sunfish. filet every one you catch.

I never can tell those little ones apart - rock bass, warmouth, and red eye all look pretty much the same to me. Fun to catch though, especially on ultralight spinning gear.
