Small fish, huge blackberries, or both?

This is my first crappie. Are they always this scrawny? I’m in metro west Boston and the fish was caught this morning.

8.5” on Bobby Garland Ittybit Slab Huntr

This specimen fought harder than any of the 13 inch crappie I caught that day. Light tackle for the win

Caught maybe a dozen the other day but this guy was definitely the prettiest.

Ive been getting back into fly fishing for sunfish and bass around northeast kansas and im trying to get better at identifying the different sunfish i catch. Thanks for any help!

So fun catching these big bluegill on tenkara rod.

Northern sunfish, greengill?, pumpkinseed, warmouth, pumpkinseed, pumpkin gill, green sunfish, pumpkinseed

What kind is this? Caught in southern Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦

Caught this morning while fishing for trout plus a few tiny Bartram bass and creek chubs. No trout but the redbreasts out of here are pretty that's for sure.

This was on a Disney guided fishing trip, aside from all the bass on the trip, I did catch my 1st warmouth ever at the Port Orleans hotel fishing hole that same weekend,so win win!

This one is less bluegill and more bluelips!

Plus a variety of other small catches off the docks
