![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/mrXHrf8S/IMG-20190930-154957.jpg) I've only caught these fish in the fast flowing and rocky creeks of Coosa Co, and I never have figured out exactly what they are. I've had many people give me definite answers, but unfortunately they are not the same answer. Most call them a Goggle-eye or Warmouth, but I don't think either answer is right. The Outdoors AL site gives only 3 possibilities - Rock Bass, Shadow Bass, or Warmouth, but this fish doesn't seem to match up with any of the descriptions. It seems to be most like a Rock Bass, but they are not supposed to be in the Coosa system. This one has 10 spines in the dorsal fin and 5 in the anal fin. It's 7" long, and that's about the average size I have caught. I've never caught a bunch of them on one trip, but it's pretty common to catch 2 or 3 on a day trip. So what is it?

Warmouth hybrid of some sort.

I have thought for several years that they are probably shadow bass, but it doesn't match up perfectly with their description. It's more like the description of a Rock Bass, but if they aren't in the Coosa system it can't be that. It is certainly more like the shadow bass description than a Warmouth.
Thanks for the guesses.

They are very good! They have a sweet flavor and though they are never very big, I always keep them. I got a couple of red-eyes and a couple of spots to go with him, and they should make my wife and I a good meal. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/qM6d79xx/IMG-20190930-171649.jpg) That’s right. If they weren’t meant to eat, God wouldn’t have made them out of meat.

A few smallmouth would make you a dam fine fish fry in addition. And I have never caught one. It has occurred to me that I am not getting any younger, so if I want to accomplish that feat I might ouught to be planning a trip to do it. So where I can go catch a smallmouth in a natural river setting? I know they caught them behind dams in the fall, but I'd rather fish a natural river. Is there such a place left?
