That's really cool I've never even seen a bluegill get pulled out of there. Usually it's catfish, bass, and trout. Nice job  Thumbs Up

Aw... Very nice. Reminds me of my very first surf perch (dink) on my very first surf fish. Felt like such an achievement.

They do have the black spot in the same place, but the coloring is different.

Its a Bluegill, Redear have a large red patch on the side of the gill plate hence Redear.

True that. However, the red patch is behind the black spot and sometimes is not readily visible. I was judging by the body coloration. It likely is a bluegill. I am positive it is a Sunfish!  Cool
