I'm missing a Guadaloupe, Santa Fe, and a Delta(?) or whatever it's called. Would like to have pictures of the fish (close-up) and one holding the fish. I believe it would be 8 or 9 sub-species (probably a closer classification than species). Last edited by Gotcha1; 04/03/17 04:04 PM. Matt Brock wears knock-off Crocs.

Largemouth, smallmouth, spot and then some weird ones like red eye and a couple other creek bass. “Killing tomorrow’s trophies today.” On the distance I like to walk to my stands: “The first 100 yards is also the last 100 yards.”

They dont recognize it as a species though and 90% of folks think they are a smallmouth. I think Ive caught every Bama Species but none of those freaky ones. I also believe I read something where they had recognized the difference between a Shoal bass and a Red-eye. I think those in question were found in Paint Rock River but either way we use to fish it when we hunted up there and caught them. Its not the will to win but the will to prepare to win!

These are Perch, most like Bream also known as Sunfish. I really don't put them in the same category as a Large Mouth or Small Mouth Bass, although they are all in the Sunfish family.
