I put this picture into another post on here, but thought I would do a separate post to see if I might get more responses. I find it fascinating, the number of names we all have for the same fish in different parts of the country. So, these are just about anywhere in the US that folks fish, except for a few places probably, when you catch one what do you call it?

And the second picture, where could I go in California to catch one of those? And what would you calll it?

Bluegill bream. In South Carolina I have caught 5 different species of bream copperhead, stumpknocker , shell crackers, bluegill, pumpkin seed. Here in Alabama I’ve only caught bluegill, shell crackers, pumpkin seed ( aka sunfish locals call em)

Whitereb, You caught that many over here and didn't catch a Redbreast, or you just forgot.
