If you turn a dog loose to hunt – you’d better to be ready to deal with what he trees.
Purty fair sized bream. Almost big enough to use for trot line bait

Bucky will tell you that ain't a bream.

Its sure as heck a nice one, whatever the hell it is! When they get into that range, its time to start heating up the grease.

That is a real nice gill. In my neckn of the woods that is a bluegill. I'd never even heard of bream until I started out around here.
That's a Bluegill in my book too. Posted one just like it once and Bucky told me it was some kinda shellcracker, or sumptin

Yep QA is right (at least in our neck of the woods) Here's a male:
Somewhere in the files I have a bluegill, redear (shell cracker) and a green ear all picture together..

I think what you're calling a 'greenear' is what we'd call a goggle eye hereabouts. Larger mouth and acts like it thinks its a bass. Birddog calls them 'black perch'. Good eaters too.

Warmouth I think is another name for them, but I've not known anyone to call them that.

posty the warmouth down here is what we call a guvment bream. Government stocked them back in the 50's. They have a bigger mouth than a regular bream but smaller than a goggle eye which is a rock bass according to the arkansas game and fish.
the one in the middle is a chinquapin, red ear, shell cracker, mason bream or what ever depending where you live.
easier to classify them all as bream and eliminate all cornfusion

In the same vein as all cuts of beef can be called steak I suppose.

They're all bluegills and/or sunnies. Dufi.
If we all threw our problems in a pile, and you saw everyone else's problems-- you'd take yours back.
The only one around here that would be called a sunfish is the red ear.
The coal pits we fish in have a coal dust muck layer in them that smells like crude oil when you stir it up. For that reason you get a gassy smell when cleaning the fish that feed on snails, namely most of these fish whatever-the-heck-they-are. It doesn't flavor the flesh, but it puts me off my feed so I don't keep them.
