Can anyone tell me what fish this is!?

I am going to say it is a warmouth. If it was caught in western Idaho in the Snake River it is probably a warmouth. If it was a green sunfish, it would likely be a new state record. It is NOT a bluegill. The black flap on the gill cover is outlined in a lighter color and bluegill have a solid colored flap. I wish it was a redeared sunfish known as a "shell cracker" in the southern U.S. I have tried talking the Idaho Dept of Fish and Game into stalking them into Idaho, but they haven't cooperated.
