Doesn't look like the left fish's jaw extends past the eye. That would rule out largemouth
yeah hard to tell, that lower jaw section looks like it would extend but idk. the lateral bars are solid and not broken up and no dorsal scales like a spot.
if you keep one you think might be a spot/smalley hybrid id make sure it meets the smalley length limit.

Looks like a red face holding dinner

Pretty sure it would with the mouth closed.

He obviously called in work that day with an eye problem…… he couldn't SEE himself coming to work that day!
Just when I think I've figured out how to tell the difference between a LM, SM, and a spot, a thread like this comes along.
another thing to consider.
Forget the tooth patches?
Bass fishermen may want to hone their fish identification skills before next spring.

I have no idea what a mean mouth is! But that's a small mouth bass in your left hand.

100% mean mouth. I've seen several over the years in Center Hill. Biggest I ever saw was well over 4. It was before I had ever heard of a mean mouth. We couldn't decide whether it was a smallmouth or a KY (spot). After learning what they were and seeing a few, I now know it was a mean mouth.
