Rock bass
The rock bass (Ambloplites rupestris, Ambloplites Ariommus, Ambloplites Constellatus), also known as the rock perch or goggle-eye, is a species of freshwater fish in the sunfish family (Centrarchidae) of order Perciformes. Rock bass are native to the St Lawrence River and Great Lakes system, the upper and middle Mississippi River basin in North America from Québec to Saskatchewan in the north down to Missouri and Arkansas, and throughout the eastern U.S. from New York through Kentucky and Tennessee to the northern portions of Alabama and Georgia in the south. All species of rock bass are considered gamefish and are popular with sustenance and sport fishermen. Sport anglers often employ ultra-light spinning gear or fly tackle designed for panfish.
