Reffering to Jays remark, I had called a " bioligist" locally to report a
strange sunfish I caught. It was quite colorful, and had FOUR anal fin
spines. It was shaped like a crappie for the most part, and was a
brilliant deep red with turquoise spots. Tha answere I got, " oh, its from
the east side of the river, sunfish are more colorful there, and it
probably was a genetic freak". He didnt care to see it or want to know the
location. I have never caughten another one since. I think it may have
been a green sunfish X crappie hybird, to the best of my guesses.
