Ya - Rock Bass are a Sunfish, not a Black Bass...their closest relatives are Bluegill, so they don't belong in the 'Bass' threads but in 'Other Species'.

 

Ahh but black bass are in the sunfish family, too!

I know that - but there's a morphological difference between black bass and 'true' sunfish. Just cause something's common name has 'bass' in it, doesn't make it a bass

 

Otherwise the panfish boards would have to include this little beauty cause it's called a Sunfish.

Just need a bigger pan, that's all.

Finally made it to FL after several false starts.  Called a buddy and he wanted to go fishing today, Monday, at the Rainbow River.  We got there about 11 and headed upstream.  Started fishing floating down river and caught a few small bass, my first bass of 2025.  Using T/R worms we worked our way downstream and had a steady catch.  I caught about 10 and my buddy caught some with a 4.32 kicker.  Feels good to be on the water again.
