    Rock bass and some call them red eyes around here. I catch them in Lake Erie and St. Claire all day every day. They can get up to 2 lbs but usually the average size is in your hand. They are very good to eat though for what it's worth. Up north they are stonger than a small mouth pound for pound.

    yes, depending on from where you are from i've heard them called, rockbass, redeye, or goggle eye. I enjoy catching them in the creeks here in ky, particularly the shalllower creeks that are abundant with smallmouth, they are definately a hard fighting fish pound for pound!!

    It's a redeye and they are as good as bluegill or crappie if you can catch the big ones. I've seen them as big a 12" which is big for a redeye but you can catch good keepers in the 8" range easily.

    I agree with Rock Bass but man does it look like it has a disease.
