Tonight I went out and caught a about 9-10" Rock Bass, and a 6-7" Pumpkinseed Sunfish. They are acclimating right now, so I am currently up to 3 natives, LMB, RB, and PS. I will post pictures are soon as I can get them up. :nilly:

How big of a tank have you got?
 
Both Rockbass and Pumpkinseeds are really cool fish, but they both also get big. Rockbass get to 17inches and Pumpkinseeds can get to 16 inches and are messy eaters......if your going to keep all of those to full size I would invest in a bigger aquarium.
 
Great fish to keep.Looks like your on your way to become a native fish lover like the rest of us.Need to get some perch to add to your list of natives.

I would love to have a yellow perch with my SMB, but wouldn't the bass end up eating the perch?
 
I hae trid perch in the past with no avail, and don't worry I have a 320 gallon pond for the lot, when they get bigger.
