Thought maybe bass, but the dorsal fin doesn't look right. Shape seem to elongated for Sunfish/Blue Gill. Perch didn't seem right either based on color. But anyway, any thoughts on it are appreciated.

Looks like a warmouth, similar to a northern rock bass, see post#5

Could be a Bluegill, and a big one at that.
To: paul544
Yikes. I just realized your fish has a bigger mouth than a Bluegill does.

Looks like a large Cracker. FLA is a land of non native fish. We had 3 pairs of Ruby Chiclids nesting on our bank and every now and then there is a report of a Pacu being caught. All the exotics thrive in the South FLA fresh water canals, where people dump their aquariums when they move. I’ve caught a bucket full of Mayan Chiclids in brackish water along with Oscars, probably about $1000 dollars worth if I sold them to an Aquarium store. I released them all. With all these illegal fish coming in, we should build dams along our borders to stop the flow. (LOL)

It has lots of names.
Rock bass, google eye, warmouth, Ozark bass, stumpknocker.
In the spring they are more of a green color but thru the summer they turn darker.
They have a tender mouth. They hit hard but don't fight much once they are hooked.

That is a Warmouth Perch. I have them in my stock tank’s, some call them a Goggle Eye Perch.
