Blue gill with large mouth - Benstring - 09-05-2017
I was fishing in north western Minnesota on Dead Lake and caught what I thought was just a big blue gill but it also had a large mouth which really made me think it was a hybrid or something but idk. I could easily fit my thumb in its mouth with a little left over space. Anyone have any ideas?

Sounds like it could be a Green Sunfish.

Welcome to the site Ben. Did you by chance take a picture of the fish? Did it look anything like these fish:

If so, it is a Warmouth:
