Picture isn't the greatest but I think it's either a green sunfish or a warmouth (probably the former).  I don't think it's a rock bass.

Tough call. All the green sunfish I've seen around my area all had blue-green-teal lines around the mouth and usually orange around the lower fin edges. All the warmouth had a darker, marbled look. The colors are more reminiscent of a redeye IMO but the eyes don't look very red and its body seems to be a bit more streamlined than what I'm familiar with. Being that it was caught in a pond, I would lean more towards green sunfish or warmouth.  I've found warmouths tend to prefer impoundments while redeye are generally in moving water.

Kind looks like a rock bass to me, but ours around here have red eyes. I am by know means an expert.

It looks like the green sunfish we have in some little creeks in southern California. Here's one with some pretty cool colors, but they vary a lot.
