My best guess is Green Sunfish.

That's some sort of cross between a perch and a sunfish.

Search for "warmouth" on google images, I believe you'll find a match.

Looks like a warmouth, AKA goggle eye.

Depends on where you go. In the right habitat, there will be piles of them. There are a bunch of them around the bluffs on certain parts of Station Camp Creek.

You ain't kidding. They make it really hard to fish a brush hawg or craw pattern by pulling the legs off.

Definitely a warmouth. There are a few in a four-acre pond I manage:

Warmouth are good eating if you can get larger ones. A lot of them tend to be pretty small. They (along with green sunfish) have a bad tendency to get "black spot" parasites.
You can still eat them with the black spots but it's not very appetizing to think of eating wormy fish, so I usually throw the badly infested ones back.
