Hey thanks guys. I think I got it: look at jaw first, coloration second. Am I correct in thinking if it has the horizontal strip and the jaw doesn't extend past eye, it would be spotted bass? Or should I look into the mouth at that point?
Greetings and I apologize if this isn't the right forum to ask but I was wondering if anyone could help me identify these fish I caught today from the shore(Kentucky). My dad taught me all this stuff as a kid but I let it slip away. From what I remember the best feature to use to tell a largemouth from smallmouth bass is the black line. I sort of see one in the second fish but to be honest they sort of look the same too. Thanks in advance!
