What type of fish is this?

[Nick.Mihaiu]

I just caught this fish and I was wondering what it is. I thought it looked like a mixture between a bass and a bluegill. I sent the pictures to my friend and he said it was a "croppy". I know of crappie but is croppy even a real name of a fish? Anyway, what type of fish is this? It sort of looks like a bluegill but it has a bigger mouth like a bass. I caught it with one of those topwater frogs (scum frog poppers which I highly recommend) which are for bass.
