NEBasser101 Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 The past few weeks, I have been catching what looks like spotted bass. I live in an area that Spots arent normally populated. I caught one fish yesterday. Is it a spot? Quote
jdw174 Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 I'm going with yes on this one from your photos. The rear of the jaw on a LM will extend back to the eye. You're holding the jaw open in the photo, but it doesn't appear to go back that far. There's also the spot on the tongue. My .02. Quote
AndrewJ Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 From the look of it, i would definitely guess a spotted bass. Did it fight like a bigger fish than it turned out to be (not that it isn't a nice fish)? Quote
Jig-Man Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 The body is that of a lmb not a spot. A better pic would make identifying a lot easier. Having the fish lying flat is the best way for us to tell anything. 1 Quote
Super User Gundog Posted June 14, 2016 Super User Posted June 14, 2016 My bet is on a largemouth. But with a better pic I reserve my right to change my opinion. And much like any election, my decision may change from now till then. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted June 14, 2016 Global Moderator Posted June 14, 2016 That's a largemouth without a doubt. I don't see anything about that fish that would make me think it's a spotted bass. 3 Quote
