Black bass is the common names typically associated with sunfishes of the genus Micropterus due to the black coloration exhibited by the juveniles of some species. I've never heard of crappie called black bass but I have heard them called calico bass before.
I have also heard
Ambloplites rupestris called redeye bass by some but generally redeye is the common name associated with
Micropterus coosae.
Micropterus coosae (Redeye Bass)
Ambloplites rupestris (Rock Bass)
