John;

 They live in the rivers and streams here and are true natives and usually small(under 12 inches)  The Kentucky Spotted Bass, a non-native are moving into the same habitat and are cross breeding with and or replacing the Redeyes.

Nice pictures Rick. I looked up the native range on Redeyes and the range is pretty small, only three states: SC, GA, and Alabama.
