Though they do resemble each other ... I think the Warmouth is a little more brightly colored (looks like it has "warpaint" on it :D ), whereas the Rock Bass is more darker colored (browns & blacks).
The Rock Bass have six anal fin spines which helps distinguish them from the Warmouth, which has three.

I did not know that. I'd always considered them both the same. I learned something today.
They look even more similar.....after their battered & fried!:D
