There is a northern Rock Bass in your area. It doesn’t have the red eye and has almost the same shape as a Blue Gill. I have caught Warmouth in your state and they have a red eye.
Here is a Warmouth:
Here is the Northern Rock Bass:
Here is a Green Sunfish:
All three of these have a thumbable sized mouth but only the Warmouth has the red eye.
thanks i think it might be the rock bass do you know a good bait for them i was using corn when i caught em
One of the easiest baits for them is Baby Nightcrawlers or use about 1/2 of a normal sized Nightcrawler.
Put that about 2 feet under a bobber and wait for the pull.
You may also have access to Mealworms or Waxworms. They should also work.
