Members trytofish Posted March 17, 2011 Members Posted March 17, 2011 OVER THE PAST YEARS FISHING AT TR, IVE CAUGHT SEVERAL BASS WITH RED/ORANGE EYES AND LONG TEETH. ALWAYS THOUGHT THEY WERE CALLED A MEAN MOUTH OR WARMOUTH. LOOKED AT A PICTURE OF A MEANMOUTH , DONT LOOK LIKE IT. ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT THEY ARE CALLED?
Dutch Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Could it be a goggle eye? There are a bunch down there. Next time you catch one post a pic.
motoman Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 OVER THE PAST YEARS FISHING AT TR, IVE CAUGHT SEVERAL BASS WITH RED/ORANGE EYES AND LONG TEETH. ALWAYS THOUGHT THEY WERE CALLED A MEAN MOUTH OR WARMOUTH. LOOKED AT A PICTURE OF A MEANMOUTH , DONT LOOK LIKE IT. ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT THEY ARE CALLED? - That's my guess, Rock Bass/Goggle Eye. They can be a real nuisance when fishing for other species.
mrgungho Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 I'd say Goggle eye too,but I don't know about long teeth...they don't have any teeth. "Some go to church and think about fishing, others go fishing and think about God."
Whack'emGood Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Definitely Goggle-Eye. "Success builds confidence, and you have to learn to trust your instincts and forget about fishing the way a tournament is supposed to be won. I'm going to fish my style and make it work for me." -KEVIN VANDAM "Confidence is the best lure in your tackle box." -GERALD SWINDLE "A-Rig? Thanks, but no thanks. If I can't catch them on the conventional tackle that I already use, then I guess I just can't catch them." -LK (WHACK'EM)
Gavin Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 I'm thinking Warmouth....They look allot like a Rock Bass but they have teeth. http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/huntwild/wild/species/war/
aftersh0ck Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 you said bass though, are these looking more sunfish shape or black bass? http://www.tnfish.org/PhotoGalleryFish_TWRA/FishPhotoGallery_TWRA/pages/MeanmouthBassHybridSmallmouthSpottedNorrisNegus_jpg.htm this is what they show for them as for warmouth we have those at my lake property, i know they are bad like green sunfish for the lake. i think they are bad butt though, i caught one 12 inches long over 15 years ago under a dock. it was almost solid black with a crappie sized mouth. most of them out there are camo colored, just depends where you catch them.
Members trytofish Posted March 17, 2011 Author Members Posted March 17, 2011 THEY LOOKED ALMOST LIKE A KENTUCY MARKINGS. DONT REMEMBER THEM LOOKING ANYTHING LIKE A SMALLMOUTH. WILL BE THERE THIS NEXT WEEK, WILL TAKE A PICTURE AND SEE. THANKS
