Long Eared Sunfish, 4.5" (11.43 cm)

Bluegill, about 5" (12.7cm)

Moved from Florida to Tennessee and I'm already amazed by the sunfish here! Long Eared sunfish don't live as far south as I was in Florida, so this is my first one ever and what a beautiful fish it is.

I'm also seeing what the OG bluegill looks like since I've only ever seen Copper Nose in Florida. They really have blue gills here! 😂

PRO TIP: Bobby hair pins are fantastic for dehooking micro fish and you can pin them on your hat for easy access
