Jeff,
Your mystery fish might be this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redeye_bass (Micropterus coosae) which is related to the Suwanee bass (Micropterus notius) more so than the the Rock Bass (Ambloplites rupestris). I actually did not know the Redeye and the Rock Bass were two different fish until I started googling it -- I thought Rob's picture of a Rock Bass looked a lot different from the Rock Bass I have caught, which I now think were Redeye Bass instead. I have caught Redeyes in the GW National Forest, so the part on the Wikipedia page about "Southwestern Virginia" is at least a little bit wrong. I am glad you had fun on the trip.
best,
Miles

I think I discovered my mystery fish - a Suwannee bass (maybe that's the same as a Rock bass mentioned earlier). I did a little research and it doesn't look like that species is native, so has anyone else heard of them being up in this neck of the woods?--
