Any species of black bass can have redeyes. I think sometimes it indicates stress, like when they are spawning or something.

Just posted the possibilities of the species that it could have been. I thought the pictures would help everyone get an idea of the different types of fish everyone was talking about. I thought the redeye had a limited range too but didn't look that up.

My daughter caught a 2.75 oz. rock bass on Lake Michigan (and got an award) It's too skinny to be a rock bass, it looks to me like a Kentucky bass.
