Rock bass are a sunfish. Here in Ontario they aren't even mentioned in the regs book, no season or limit. Check out your book in Michigan, you could probably keep them if you like. I've had them mixed with walleye and largemouth in a fry, you couldn't tell the difference.just checked...open all year.but same limit as gills/sunnies...25 mixed bag of any kind.
Delicous pan-fried in seasoned flour and butter. Rock candy. Empty yer in box, Mike!
