ceadmin, as ewest pointed out above, warmouth, rock bass and roanoke bass are three different but similar species. There is a fourth species called Ozark bass that has been split off from rock bass. Other than range, the biggest difference between the 4 species is size. Roanoke bass get to 14 1/2 inches, Ozark bass to 7 1/2 inches, warmouth to 12 inches and rock bass to 17 inches. Rock bass just get bigger. They are like having crappie in a lake only they don't spawn as early, I think. We need a professional to comment if they spawn before or after LMB.
