bluegills
Small freshwater panfish
Bluegills are small freshwater sunfish native to North America, popular with anglers and commonly found in ponds, lakes, and slow streams.
Named for the blue-black flap on the gill cover, they're often a child's first catch: We spent the afternoon catching bluegills off the dock.
Singular: bluegill.
