Look like bluegill to me. Good eating!!!!

Lots of names for what is basically the same fish, but with slightly different variations. Here we have bluegill, sunfish and crappie. There's another one too that has a bit of red/orange along the belly, can't remember which one it is. They all taste the same, delicious!

Pumpkin seed, shell crackers, sunperch, goggle eyes, red ears, rock bass, the list goes on. Growing up we just called them all perches. Later in life I find out that's not the proper name for them as perches are futher up north and look different.

You should throw a couple big bass or catfish in there to control the population. Otherwise all you'll have is a million tiny fish. The pond on the one property I take care of has largemouth bass and northern pike. It keeps the panfish population balanced.
