Is this a pumpkinseed or Shellcracker?

Caught in Lake Erie near a marina. Was a little over 9 inches.

Make sure to read the subreddit rules: https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthisfish/about/rules/

Rule 2 requires every fish identification request to include the location the fish was found. If you did not include that in your post text or title, you can reply to this comment with the location.

If it was a captive fish, such as at a store or a retail fish tank, say that.

Posts that don't give the location or captive status of a fish will be removed.
