I've never seen one before, never mind catching one...What do you normally use to catch them with if you don't mind me asking.

I probably wasn't very clear in my post but I don't target them. I do catch them from time to time when I'm targeting bass and I get a little excited when I do because I've caught some of my biggest largemouth when I'm around rock bass. Just clearing that up because I don't want to give the impression I'm an expert on these things. But, I almost always catch them on a small Texas rigged craw type bait such as a Strike King Rage Menace or a Strike King Rage bug. As an example on my last trip to DH a couple weeks ago I caught 2 rock bass when I first pulled up to an isolated small patch of grass. Right after the rock bass I caught 3 largemouth between 3.25 and 4.75lbs. I was making the exact same cast on every fish and caught them all in about 15 casts. The big largemouth on DH love to eat those little devils. They don't fight all that hard but they sure are aggressive when they bite. I hear they are great eating too. I've never really caught many big ones on CH but DH has some big ones.
