yeah. I'm pretty sure it isn't a warmouth. but I'm also pretty sure it isn't a rock bass. I've looked at pictures of them and they didn't match up. but one of my friends I fish with did call it a rock bass although he didn't think that was the right name. me and my friend have looked all over the web for it and the closest looking thing we found was a giant grouper..lol. but I'm pretty sure it isn't one. we sent my pictures to auburn to see if they knew wat it is and haven't gotten a response yet.

Actually guys we are all wrong its a shadow bass or calico bream. They are found in all the local rivers.

According to my dad(he is a biologist for the FWC)most people mistake them for goggle eye.

Fish in the sunfish family will often "hybridize" with other fish producing variations, your fish is basically a warmouth bass. Redeye is often a nickname for them, they are very tasty even though they are small and they don't seem to fight as hard as other sunfish, usually because they are so fat for their size!

I'm with midnight rider. that fish is wearn' desert cammies, it helps it "close with and destroy" its prey. thats one tactical fish.

This is a shadow bass. also google eye and warwouth are the same thing. Also sunfish do hybridize but they don't hybridize with warmouth or shadow bass. you could have a spotted sunfish(stump knocker) X bluegill or a very common one in shallow farm ponds is a redear(shell cracker) X bluegill
