nice catch
He didn't have them bright red eyes typical of a rock bass but he does resemble one. That black one is a different critter I guess.

We call those goggle eyes down here but they are really warm mouths, their eyes turn deep red when they are about to spawn. They are not rock bass but are simular I can't remember how to tell them apart but I think it is a tooth patch and the location you catch them in around the country. As for the warm mouth (goggle eye) they are usually very fat and pull pretty hard. I catch the really nice ones on plastic worms are beetle spins. They have a larger mouth than a shellcracker.
I had always used rock bass and goggle eye inter-changeably, but never knew what a Warmouth was.Quote:
