The picture of the fish being filleted is actually a hybrid cross between a redear sunfish and a green sunfish, but most people just call them bluegill. It was 1.2# but most of the ones we fillet are between half and three quarters pound. The next to the last two pictures are of a couple purebred coppernose bluegill (a "southern" strain of bluegill). The last picture is of a redear sunfish.

Wife and I filleted 35 of them this morning (mostly hybrid bluegill). I work right beside her filleting the fish. Took us just over an hour this morning to clean the them all. Caught them the last couple days (we keep them in a holding pen till we are ready to clean them). That makes 360 bluegill and 53 channel catfish to date cleaned so far this year. All out of our ponds here at home. It is a hobby.

Edit: wife does not like it much when I post pictures of her in clothes she would never want anyone to see her in........... oops.  ;-)
