Now you got me wondering...
I was fishing in SW Iowa last year and I encountered a number of lakes that were in the process of being killed-off by the Iowa DNR due to an infestation of "Yellow Bass".
Being from Eastern Iowa, I've never heard of a "yellow bass" before so I assumed they were the striped bass that are commonly found in Iowa rivers (not to be confused with the hybrid striped bass that can get pretty big...A cross between a walleye and a striped bass). I know they wern't talking about crappies because I wasn't catching any!!!
Now you got me wondering if these infamous "Yellow bass" are really "Green sunfish".
I've always called those things "rock bass". And they are usually a pain in the arse: Almost always stunted populations in the larger lakes...Good catfish bait, but rarely big enough for the frying pan themselves.
Anybody else know what a "yellow bass" is?

A yellow bass looks like a tiny version of striped bass, only it has a yellow tint of color to it. They are small and prolific spawners. Yellow bass are different species than stripers and white bass, but are cousins.
