THE MINOR BASSES (fiLAC K-B ASS FAMILY) 



The War mouth Bass (Chcenobryttus gulosus) 



The warmouth bass (also popularly known as 

 goggle-eye, perch, redeye, sunfish, and bream) is 

 a sunfish that is shaped very much like the rock- 

 bass, grows to a length of about ten inches, and 

 seems to prefer lowland streams and sluggish 

 bayous. It is very numerous, however, in some of 

 the shallow ponds of the Northwest, and is abun- 

 dant in those of the South. As a fish for the angler 

 it is of little importance, and for the table equally 

 valueless, as it is likely to have a flavor of the 

 mud bottoms on which it lives.
