Members BS Fishing Posted April 28, 2018 Members Posted April 28, 2018 Today while fishing I caught a 10 in rock bass...just want to know if anybody else has caught one here.
fozzype Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 all the time...the old goggle eye are great to eat too. B. Foz
MoCarp Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 caught some monsters on the rock, they are good eating as well MONKEYS? what monkeys?
tjm Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 Wouldn't those be Ozark Bass? I know, I know, they are still goggle eye or black perch, but I thought the authorities renamed them a few years back?

tjm Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 https://mdc.mo.gov/conmag/2002/05/rock-bass-panfish-supreme Quote Most rock bass run from 6 to 10 inches long and weigh less than 8 ounces. Anything over 9 inches is a fish to admire; a 10-inch rock bass will earn you a Master Angler patch in Missouri. The Missouri state record, caught in 1968 in the Big Piney River, weighed 2 pounds, 12 ounces and measured 17 inches. Most rock bass are bantam-weights, but some are big enough and feisty enough to break your line. dan hufferd 1
