Took the boys to a pond today that seemed to only have this in it. Looks like a perch to me but wasn't sure anyone know...

Similar in appearance to the rock bass and sunfish, the warmouth has a thick, oblong body, which varies from brassy to dark olive-green. It has broad, irregular dark bars that give it a mottled appearance. It is easily identified by red eyes and a large mouth, which is similar to a bass. Its upper jaw extends to or beyond the middle of the eyes.
looks like a warmouth or hybrid blugill
