No definitely not a smallmouth. Some kind of bliegill /sunfish/ shellcracker. Looks alot like a rock bass but they wouldnt be in a farm pond/ need cooler water and more dissolved oxygen (like a smallmouth would)

Warmouth not smallmouth
looks like a green sunfish. theyll ruin a pomd.
Not sure- some kind of sunfish
That was my first thought, but I've only caught those in Tennessee. Like smallmouth.
Thanks WTM, I saw that on a chart and thought it resembled somewhat.
Somebody confidently told me smallmouth, that wasn't my first guess.
Turk870 is right. Warmouth
his fish doesnt have the red dot behind the dorsal, at least as i can tell and the anal fin is not rounded but angled to a point.
keep all you can eat if you wish. they spawn like rabbits and spawn with other sunfish creating a bunch of hybrids.
Crappie.
I don't feel so stupid now with several different IDs on this thread.
Pretty sure you're right and it's green sunfish.

Warmouth no doubt.
probably, females. the dorsal heigth looks more warmouth. the first pic looks more green sunfish. maybe a hybrid since green sunfish will mate with just about anything.
