[casketcreed44]

[wisconsinbassfishin]

[SuperPensfan8771]

good but ive seen bigger, some 3lbers in the welland river, and ive seen 4lbers in lake peninsula. all of these places are in ontario canada

[Deflection]

That's dinner..

[miles581]

Caught my first one of these today in a small lake in Michigan. Had to google search to see what he was. Thought i had caught the first bluegill/bass hybrid. Lol

[BensBold54]

It might be a big rock bass, but its still a rock bass....

[justin04tms]

i just caught a 2 lb 3 ounce rock bass yesterday..i caught a 7lb smallie the same day. it was awesome and i am getting a replica mount of both of them now. i caught them in ontario and i am from mississippi so i figured replicas would be a better route.

[venburg]

i caught a 15 inch rockbass

[luther507]

My cousin caught one (Shes only 11!!!!) that was even larger then that. We were fishing in Ontario, Canada, down at a lake, off a dock.

She couldnt reel it in, and in the end her dad had to, and even he struggled.

[neek9000]

This Rock Bass is tiny compared to the average lake st. Clair rock bass,

Most of them here are 15, 16 inches

[jd84z]

i have caught a lot of decent rock bass in the Cheboygan river near down town where it spits out in to lake Huron

[dkim68]

I think this video has 9 dislikes not only cuz the fisherman used the word "trophy" to describe his fish, but also because he's black. I'm sure you'll argue it was only cuz he thought he had a trophy fish and the fact he's black had nothing to do with it. Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Bull. Shit.

[BMunich16]

@dkim68 nobody gives a flying shit what color he is. I guess im racist for not supporting Obama too right?

[Cooloioi]

That is about the regular size we catch up here, but that is nice!!! I caught a 19 incher when we went camping. I couldn't believe my eyes!!!! But, great catch, that is indeed great size!!!!

[threedaysgraceftw1]

Caught a huge one last week, about 16 inches

[thegorilla69]

are they good eating?...are they known a panfish?

[threedaysgraceftw1]

@thegorilla69

They're sort of like bluegill

[hertzer2000]

[pdcfisherman]

[jailbreaker12334332]

[20bstella]

[roundtopskier]

I was fishing a local creek and i was nearly close to the Pennsylvania state record. a few ounces shy. this bass was about a foot long caught on a tender tube

[VegaWgn]

[KcKiller101]

[Bodys101]

i caught a rock bass 11 inches one time in northern minnesota

[kotyfuckingpoynter]

Pretty good Rock bass ,man ,but i've seen bigger . lol The biggest one i caught was in Bluestone River in West Virginia , it was about 12 inches. I did watch an old friend of mine catch a 15 inch Rock bass in Bluestone River and he chopped it up and used it for Catfish bait . That was biggest Rock bass i have ever seen caught out of Bluestone River.

[m3linko]

i don't get it...why would you want a trophy rockbass?

[PoorMansPlato]

My Biggest Rock Bass came from an abandoned rock quarry in Trotwood, Ohio

it was 14 1/2" inches and weighed 2 1/2 lbs! scales were as big as my thumb nail.

I caught him on a Mepps Aguilla (Squirrel tail) witha brass blade. That was fun because the water was crystal clear and I got to watch him fight the whole time!

[lakaiguy17]

man you show so much ohio pride but i have never seen you fishing the maumee river you havent fished in ohio until you have fished the maumee river huge walleye and mass amounts of white bass this time of year i went fishing yesterday and caught about a 100 white bass in under 3 hours

[travisrider95]

ive caught alot about that size in my creek

[sretyy]

nice fish!

[rideithard661]

what is the weight on that?

[Fishnwithjoe]

I dont know. I didnt weigh it. Just dont figure the size of the fish against the size of an average guy. Because in this video I'm like 230lbs.

What's your guess?

Fishnwithjoe

[rideithard661]

@Fishnwithjoe I'd say about a pound.

[WheatThins1]

@Fishnwithjoe i caught one bit bigger then that it weighed in at just over 3/4 pound prety big rock bass

[bearsfan54beast]

@Fishnwithjoe half a pound at best. i love rock bass and that is a great rock bass ive caught a few like that and a little bigger. they dont get much weight to them cuz they dont get very big.

[xXcam0manXx]

thats a monster of a rock bass .....damn....but ive cought bigger over here in so cal ....ive caught that was a pound and 1/4 ....it was freaking huge it was about 13 inches long to.....lol and i caught it on a 6 inch robo worm.... a great day

[jtschid0910]

my biggest rockie was about that size

[hawghunters]

Thats a big rock bass! The biggest Ive caught was half that size.

[YoungAngler11]

Did you know that the record rock bass in michigan was 3 pounds 10 ounces and it was 20 inches long.

[fishnkid1923]

[sfischermilford]

[sfischermilford]

@Fishnwithjoe .. thanks =) happy fishing

[profisherman17]

Fish for channel catfish with dough bait (magic bait) you can buy what ever type you want but I prefere great Scot liver and cheese

[1musiclvr]

I think Rock Bass are the best tasting fish there is.

[sathvamp]

Rock bass are so pretty

[Hippies4TheWorld]

I was fishing bluestone lake and I caught 16 ing rock bas

[fishnkid1923]

r u sure it was a rock bass,r u sure it wasnt a smallie?

[Rohan4basu]

thats a beauty

[POLSKACLIMBING]

[lcts98]

What the record is 1.97 lbs come on mine was 2.30 lbs and i let it go

[bassbeaster821]

ive caught some nice rock bass like that on the current river

[mow1717]

the state record in ohio is 1.97lb.

[videogameplayer08]

what bait did you use?

[schang39]

Well rock bass and large mouth bass are in the same family catergorize in the Sunfish Family. They in fact are really not real bass. True bass family includes Stripers and White bass.

[sonicgonnagetya]

ive caught a bigger one no lie

[spitfirecs420]

Yo joe Ive caught one 17 inches in Lake St. Clair in Detroit.

[Fishnwithjoe]

17 inches. Thats huge.

[JJ4207421]

no offence but i doubt 17 inches

[lpncubs3]

@spitfirecs420 nice man. on the detroit river i got a 14 inch rock bass the other day and a couple 12 inch rock bass. 15" Perch too.

[bloodrain30]

@spitfirecs420

I just caught one the other day up in Walled Lake, a good 15 inches

[41cobiahunteR]

Rock bass are one of those kinds of fish that are almost always caught by accident, at least around here. Usually taken while bream or crappie fishing. But once caught one on a Bagley deep diving plug while bass fishing. It was holding deep just off some sheer rock wall. Really aggressive fish are rock bass. And are always a very interesting and appreciated catch.

[5pointslow91]

well chris rock, i caught rock bass like that regularly in wisconsin and alot bigger, that things small

[bird93hns1]

wat is the difference between rock bass and largemouth bass?

[25cops25]

largemouth bass have bigger mouths and are green. Rock Bass are alot smaller and have red eyes ANd spots on there stomach.

[pinhead418]

rocko bass are the shape of a panfish they have the the same mouth but large mouth is larger

[blongsta5]

the biggest rock bass i caught was 18 in. but was only 2lbs.

[videogameplayer08]

i caught a 9 pound rock bass on lake superior

[tchatfield13]

the state record is 3 pounds 10 ounces. they don't get that big...

[sirducksalot707]

dude, the world record is just under 4 pounds, that's bullshit

[EnderAcrobat17]

There are lakes in Minnesota where pound-and-a-half rock bass are fairly prevalent... We don't eat 'em much up here though, they have the stigma of a carp... I personally don't think they taste too bad, and being as they are under fished, they can make for a fun day of catch-and-release...

[stewwalk]

wow the stigma of a carp?? thats hitting below the belt. carp can be fun to catch though. they are super popluar in europe and are gaining popularity as a game fish in the US.

[5pointslow91]

i dont think they taste bad like every1 claims

[Lowriderman313]

damm it i caught a rock bass the was like about the zise of this one but much fatter and longer

[muskymatt111]

i caught a 12 inch rockbass and 9-10 inches is average

[flexspinner]

i caught bout a pound and a half in bayfield ontario i thought he was a small mouth cause thats wat we were cathing but he surprised me , the bigest rockbass i had even seen

[Rman811]

i caught a 14 and a half inch rock bass the other day

[wilkeirish]

I fish on a river about a mile from my home for rock bass. It looks identical to where you are fishing. Red eye are fun!!! Btw im from southeast TN lol

[criscarter80]

i got 87 of them yesterday, killed them all. .why on earth would you eat them? they ruin my walleye lake! biggest was 12.5 inches.

[Zoo110986]

Ignorant asshole

[headinjuredkeeper]

Great rock bass! Olentangy? Scioto? I grew up on the Scioto and really miss all the fishing I did when I was a kid...but now I am taking my 3 all the time and getting the fun back!

[mdewdrinker]

today I went fishing for the first time and for my first fish I cought a rock bass. It was about a foot and a half, thats way bighger then 9 inches

[Fishnwithjoe]

Cool. What state were you in?

[jikininki1]

lol thats cool you addicted to fishing? because i am im wasting all my money on it now i need help have fun : )

[SabresHockeyFan1993]

I just filleted 3 nice rock bass, a little smaller than the ones here

[KmAn372]

me and my friends caught one a little less than double that size at michigan

[4codwawii4]

rock bass bite lures 3 times as big as their mouths

[killerofchicken]

true! i cought one about 7 inches long on a 4 inch long lure... dont ask me how it happened cuz i couldnt explain it... i was actually fishing for pike...

[powerman2442]

That is big in Ohio, at least the part I live in, apparently his part to.

[Fishnwithjoe]

Cool,

Where did you catch your Rock bass at ?

[spuddlebutt]

i just cought a 15 inch one today

[pirog02]

i have a nice little honey hole here in massachusettes i catch some huge rock bass is there a reason why some are red eye and some arnt???

[hungrylizard193]

Males=red

Females=the other coler.

[lolnoodpop145]

i caught 1 bigger then that yesterday

[ricky52881]

red eyes are a blast to catch on ultralight tackle.

[YoungAngler11]

Sweet! Yesterday, I went rock bass fishing, and I caught a nice one. It was about the size of the rock bass you caught in this video. Awesome video! 5 stars and favorite.

[bantamhockey300]

yo i literally just caught 2 rockbass in the wappingers behind mcdonalds

[shauncool]

As a kid I would catch 12-14" rockies all the time in the Mohawk River in upstate NY. Mostly on crankbaits. They seem to have died off, though. Haven't caught a single one in years, regardless of size.

Those things act like bass when they're feeding that's for sure. I once caught a 8" on a huge walleye crankbait (likely bigger than 8") trolling.

[euroshot]

i go fishing in the U.P. and i catch rock bass that r waay bigger than this

[mvambrose]

an i thought i was the only 1 who loves catching rockbass! glad 2 see there gettin their respect! or as we call them in nj redeyes! 8-10in fish aren't uncommon here.

[mvambrose]

an i thought i was the only 1 who loves catching rockbass! glad 2 see there gettin their respect! or as we call them in nj redeyes! 8-10in fish aren't uncommon here.

[dconner50]

I would have ate 'em. You can't beat rock bass.

[joekool83]

fish directly over a crib for em.... caught a 1lb 15oz one tht was a lil over 15

[reptiledude199]

i caught like a 13 inch one on a minnow

[slippytheturtle890]

i catch 11in ones in new mexico.

[quentinm1995]

what u catch it on

[quentinm1995]

i catch these all the time

[Hunterandfisher7]

I have a question. I have a black and Chartruse spinner bait. The black has one spinner. Chartrues has two a big and small one. would these be good for dingy water in late spring early fall?

[Fishnwithjoe]

Black is excellent in dark dingy water because the shape of the bait is easier for the fish to see. Black is also good at night. Chartreuse is my favorite color though. Use it in stained water. In clear water try using a crankbait instead.

[Hunterandfisher7]

which lure would work best in spring for largemouths?

[nightmaker]

My brother caught a 13 inch rock bass in a creek near our house and I tell it was an awesome looking bass.

[pEPsI55555555]

I caught 0ne that was 1 lbs 4once

[albertsoccer23]

i caught one 12 inches

[Braden31396]

cool.

[oneofakindfrom86]

[butlerKNOWSall]

[Dice0meter]

Fish Stick bass there much easier XD

[PaleFire09]

nice catch, i just caught a fish ohio rock bass in lake erie a few days back, great stuff

[gunnyminoso]

[y2mmike92]

My dad has a club record for a lake in NJ on Lake Hopactong. His is 1 LB 1 OZ

[corkis133]

nice at in chautaqua lake (new york)i caught 1 around the dock that was 12 in. long!!(by the way i live in ohio and it is harder to catch fish here)

[Fishnwithjoe]

No offense taken ctford27 but, I'm not in Northern Minnesota this video was done in Central Ohio. Fishing is a little more difficult here, you should be thankful for the beautiful clean waters you have in Northern Minnesota and take into consideration that the fish dont get as big in places where the waters arent always so clean and pristine.

Fishnwithjoe

[ctford27]

not trying to be mean, but my girlfriend catches ones that are way bigger than that here in north minnesota!

[seattleh0mie]

yeah for real i caught 3 up in northern michigan over a pound

[bigbomber2007]

nice!

[xXJlidXx16]

ive caughten a few bigger than that,

not intentionally of course.

[1treyton1]

Heh. I caught one just today, a bit bigger than that.

[guitarguy31]

Come to Wisconsin if want HUGE rock bass. although I dont know why anyone would "want" a rock bass. They are fun to catch.

[microsoft2112]

i catch 12+inchers in northern wisconsin all the time

[bb0237071]

If you ever get a chance to fish southern Missouri in the Big Piney (state record was caught there) or the Gasconade river, 10 inch rockies are not uncommen at all and some up to 13-14. Our state record is 2 pounds 12 ounces. The Missouri Department of Conservation put lenght limits into effect years ago and our rock bass grew huge in some parts. Well worth checking out if you ever make it down here. Love the videos!

[jcstriper1]

Nice bass; rocks are great on the fly rod; they will gulp poppers almost twice their size. Very aggressive little fish.

[Fishnwithjoe]

I see fly fishermen in that stretch of the Scioto River all the time. Thanks for watching JCstriper1

[river3782]

Nice Rock bass

[Fishnwithjoe]

Thanks River.

[LGDTBWsP]

i had no clue their were rock bass

[Fishnwithjoe]

Scioto River. Look for my new videos starting in January. All new HD footage and I tell all the spots. Do a google search for the term

"fishnwithjoe" Thanks for watching

[havean]

wat creek is that i love to fish at todds fork for big rockys same for twincreek

[mishmosh2000]

Nice fish! I caught one considerably larger but it was in the pristine waters of Michigan. My buddy caught a huge Warmouth that would be unheard of in Ohio as well.

[Robjphil22]

Hey bro, i don't know where u were fishing at, but if u ever get the chance you should try some creeks in Mid. Tennessee. That rock bass would be considered moderate in size. They get huge because no one fishes for them. You'd have a fuggin blast, can't wait till bout June

[Fishnwithjoe]

Thanks for watching Ive been working on a new show thatll be broadcast online beginning in January I fish on public water and then tell the spots where I fish With the support of my fans on the net the new format I'm working on will become the standard in broadcast angling My promise is no private ponds, no mystery locations I hook the fish then show you the spots Look for my new videos in January on many of the producer rewarded video sharing sites by running a search for the term fishnwithjoe

[joeknutson08]

Hey no problem dude. Its actually the land of 10,000 lakes, but close enough. The fishing is pretty good here. I mostly fish rough fish...bullheads and bowfins and such. But I do go bass fishing quite a bit and have caught some nice ones, my biggest bass was about a 7 lb Largemouth. Do you have any good catfish places in Ohio?

[Fishnwithjoe]

Joe sorry about the numbers. I left out alot of lakes please forgive me.

From what I've heard the fishing in Ohio won't compare to Minnesota however, the Ohio River is a pretty good place to catch some big catfish. The Muskingum River in Eastern Ohio is a good place for flathead catfish. I also think the Scioto River fishery is an excellent place for numbers of channel cats.

[joeknutson08]

I fish rockbass alot here in minnesota, and I caught one that was 12.25 inches. But I let it go not knowing that it probably could have beat the minnesota record, which is an even 2 pounds.I catch a lot of them over 10 inches on the river behind my house. Johnson's Silver Minnow with a 3 inch white Mister Twister works great.

[Fishnwithjoe]

Joe you are so blessed to be in the land of a thousand lakes. A 12.25 inch rock bass is enormous in any state. It's a dream of mine to go to your state and enjoy some of the great fishing you have there. A good friend of mine who is in my HD bassin video clip grew up in Minnesota and says the fishing is awesome.

Thank you very much for watching my video.

[StephanieLussier]

Check out mine.

What is the weight and height?

[Fishnwithjoe]

I didn't weigh or measure mine however, I did see your video and that is a huge one. Nice fish.

[havean]

np im 14 and i love fishing at the little miami river i catch alot of those

[havean]

chubby thing

[Fishnwithjoe]

Thanks Havean, many people see a fish like that and say whatever but, if you catch rockbass often you know thats a good one.
