I've brought it up before and I'll bring it up again... most of those "white bass" you are catching in the Chicago River, especially in the northern parts of the Northshore Channel are WHITE PERCH.

yes most are white perch... but some i'm not able to identify.. looks to be a cross breed of something... should keep a few and get them analysed.
