Warmouths

Were else do they have any Warmouths in the state?  Got some big ones today.

What about Yellow Bass, White Bass, and Rock Bass?

What is a Warmouth crossed between?  Every lake i fish has Rock Bass, this Warmouth is the same thing but with different color, thinking they are cross between Rock Bass Green Sunfish and or Pumkinseed.

They can "cross pollinate", so they can be hard to tell one from another 

Caught what I thought were warmouths in ponds and shallow, warm bays

Remember soft rays and smooth skinned, so ...? and colorful with large mouth

I think they are...

Anyways, Beulah, Waubeesee, Sheridan park pond are 3 places ive caught them.

Those kind of look like a Green Sunfish...  

Warmouth have a bigger mouth - more like a Crappie.  Guess I can't really tell from the picture.  

Here is a pic of a Warmouth I caught on Tichigan this past winter.  

Warmouth are fairly common on the Fox River both above and below the Waterford and Rochester Dams.
