Norm, round hyar, white bass are sand bass and all sunfish are perch. Although there are several subspecies of LMB, they are all black bass. With the exception of the Panhandle there are no Smallmouth anyway. Flatheads are yellow cats and all minnows are minners or shiners. I don't know of anyone who can tell the difference in a channel and/or blue cat unless they get pretty big and I've never met anyone who worried about it. Crappie are sometimes called paper mouths but are usually accepted as crappie unless it is in Southeast Texas where Louisiana influence changes the language.

Within the state, for the most part, we also call water holes stock tanks or just tanks. The dam is often called a tank dump (where the dirt gets dumped). Along the far Eastern parts they are sometimes called ponds or pools. I discussed this with Lusk once and he said this web site and the mag was named after the most common term.
