Pulled a bunch of these out of the pond in my parents backyard in Florida.
I've been out of the freshwater scene for a long time so, is this a Bluegill? I don't remember them looking quite these colors.

It looks like a Longear Sunfish.

that is a bluegill. What you catch up here are pumpkinseeds. You can tell the difference by the color. The bluegill has the blue/green tinge, whereas the pumpkinseed has a orange hue to it.
Alot of guys call a pumkinseed a bluegill up here. they're all related I believe. Great fun on spider flies and a 2 weight..specially for kids  |

Nope, pumpkinseed has a red spot at the distal end of the opercular lobe. |

LEt's see....it looks like bait. Transport via liveewell to Flint Pond or Spy Pond. Take a pair of scissors...remove dorsal fin...add one 6' heavy duty freshwarer rod, a large hook and a float bobber. Result: Roy L's elusive Tiger Musky State Pin.
