Is this some sort of rock bass/smallmouth hybrid?

  ..and look more like Bluegills, for example, in body shape. Plus, a Warmouth has a striping pattern, like a bluegill or redear (can be jet-black though). Shadow ...more Bass have splotchy patterns, like above

  @lainedillard Yeah I know, bud. I was saying that Shadow Bass are the South's Rock Bass. Shadow Bass are found only in the South. Won't find em up here in ...more NY. 😉 Warmouths cover a wider range

  I've caught a lot of rock bass, but never with this pattern. Not much of a fight with a 7" med heavy rod and 17lb fluro either lol

  Yep, it's a Shadow Bass, the southern equivalent of Rock Bass. 😉 Pretty cool!
