It’s actually a warmouth , sort of similar but not quite the same
Common in the southern states , we don’t have actual rock bass here

I have caught warmouth and they are very aggressive. This one struck a 5" Kut Tail worm:


...same as for rock bass:


...and green sunfish:

Yes, We call them Rock Bass, and yes they are good fighters.

Rock bass are also good eating, have sort of a sweet taste.

My experience is if you get them before the water warms up they are edible. Once warm, at least here, the meat becomes mushy and is poor table fare. Especially when other panfish are available.
