We’re on vacation on the James River in Missouri and my son caught this. Any ideas? He’s also wearing out the small mouth, black bass, and sunfish. Catching everything on fluke jrs, rooster tails, and tiny cranks.

For real. When he first pulled it up a bit aways from me I told him he caught a crappie. Then I was like wait a minute. Then I thought redeye bass but that’s not right.

Looks like a rock bass, could also be a flier but I think they’re generally further southeast.

My wife used her googlefu (also because she just generally knows everything🤪) and found it was a rock bass

It is a rock bass (Ambloplites rupestris). They were introduced into Texas and are found in the San Marcos River and other rivers in the central part of the state.

That IS a weird fish!! Mouth of a bass with fins and spots like a crappie. Cool fish for your son to catch!

A spot he just caught he’s pretty proud of. Don’t mind the pepper in his teeth. Lol

I use to catch them in the larger ponds in the woodlands. Game warden told me its a Dartmouth and good eating. Still released it. They get big for panfish
When I am not fishing I am thinking about fishing. And mostly what I should have done differently my last trip! #Brockstarama
