Could this be a Spot?

Like most are saying, the very best way to tell is to check the jawline. The dorsal being connected and the tooth patch are inconclusive for the simple fact that both are often seen on largemouth.

If you mean on your shirt and pants - yeah, those are definitely spots

hahaha that's the funniest comment ever. I bent down to pick it up and the fish started going wild! It splashed me so bad. I was actually really mad at the time.

This was the first bass ever of "size" that I caught lol.

Thats a nice first chunker. Not sure about the spot or largie thing but I have been confined to bank fishing so far so I can appreciate the wet close and muddy shoes.

I only get on a boat ever so often. Its a lot different. I feel it will be a big change if I ever get access to a boat regularly. I am right now more confident fishing on the banks.

From your description of it's orneriness, it sounds like a spot, but it looks a lot more like a largmouth held by the "spotted" angler. I couldn't resist either.  Anyway, it was a great catch.  Call it what you want.

I've seen a lot of redfaced tournament anglers here in MO trying to weigh in sublegal largemouths posing as 13 in. legal spots. Talk about embarrassing! And you'd think tourney anglers would know....
