FWC - Freshwater Fish Identification Warmouth

There is a considerable difference between Red ear sunfish( locally a shellcracker) and a Warmouth (goggle eye) When I lived in Louisiana we calle dthem goggle eye. Here is my part of Florida it's both warmouth and goggle eye.

Both red ear sunfish and warmouth seem to like worms best. Here it is not unusual to catch a lot of goggle eye when bass fishing with plastic worms. If the worm is very long they have a habit of biting the tail off. They will bite crickets buy my experience is worms is their favorite.
