mikechell 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2015 You are correct, Tim. But "red eye bass" is another colloquial name for Rock Bass or Warmouth ... unless you're in Texas. That's where the true Red Eye Bass lives ... or at least, that's where I've caught them. Mostly in the streams near Houston. First one I caught really took me by surprise, because the eyes were bright red. That's not mine, but it's exactly what I caught. I'd never seen a bass with red eyes before.

Some names I've never heard, but Texas is a big state. We catch them all of the time. They're almost as mean as a green sunfish. Tasty, too. Mike, I have never heard of those bass. Pretty wicked looking fish. Kirk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
