Can anyone ID this fish. I have been catching a bunch of them with the smallies on the Newark watershed reservoirs. If so does any one know the regulations on them?
thanks

Its a Rock Bass... Me and my buddy caught about 30 of them today in the Passaic River... 20 of them were a solid pound which is amazing size for this fish..

PS.. Rock Bass are not really bass, they are actually in the sunfish family
