Description of Red Eye Bass
The redeye bass has a slender bronze-olive body that fades into white on the
belly. It has dark lateral blotches along the side and horizontal rows of spots
on the lower side and white edges along the upper and lower edges
of the caudal fin which similar bass species don't have. An orange margin is also
often present on the fins. The mouth is large and extends to
the rear edge of the eye, but not past it.
Redeye bass occur naturally in rivers and streams with a lot of structure
such as undercut banks, vegetation, boulders and submerged logs. They seem to
prefer rocky areas with at least moderate current.
