Rock Bass

[creeker]

I keep what I catch. There's more meat on them than there is a bluegill.

Very good eating. Keep em and eat em! I used to fish Eagle Creek alot and I have caught them up to 11". I have caught them mostly in small creeks and river systems.

I used to fry those things up all the time when I was a kid. The most interesting rock bass that I ever caught was on Lake Cumberland casting a Gizz 4 at night for stripers. I thought I had a leaf on my lure and cranked it in only to find a rock bass not much bigger than the lure. They are cool little fish.
