The hybrid bluegill is produced by combining the male bluegill with the female green sunfish. This yields high numbers of male fish, leading to less overpopulation than with other bluegill species. The hybrid will also grow larger reaching 1.5 - 2 pounds. The hybrid's large mouth and aggressive feeding makes it easy and fun to catch. Bluegills spawn when water temperatures reach 67°F. Shallow, saucer-like nests are made and guarded by the males.
