The picture may not show it well but it had a blue hue and it's eye were slightly red when the light hit them. Caught in Florida.

 

Not a smallmouth, I’m not super familiar with Florida species but I’d guess Warmouth 

Looks like a Rock Bass to me.

Looks like a Warmouth to me.

Same family, different genus. Like the others said, this is a warmouth. Lepomis gulosus. 

That's a good sized one too! These small little fish will hammer a rubber worm or just about anything that moves. These guys can be pretty aggressive.

 

They like to hide in cover and dart out to grab and meal and dart right back into cover with it.

 

If these would grow to 10 pounds on a regular basis some of us might forget all about LMG.

 

We call them redeye's too. I did not realize how closely they do resemble the rock bass. When nothing else is biting, these guys can be fun to mess with. Sometimes you can catch the same fish twice rather quickly.

 

 

Goggle-eye

and also, there are no smallmouth in florida.

What casts says.  The only black bass in Florida are LM, Florida Bass and Suwanee Bass.

Warmouth are so fun to catch.
