It's not a regular largemouth and it's not a spot.
Tooth patch?

Looks like a classic largemouth pic to me. It's definitely not a spot. What am I missing and why do you think it's not a largemouth?

The head and the eyes are not that of a largemouth. I am thinking it's a mean mouth.
Hard to tell with the shadow, but, I would vote largemouth.
Small headed largemouth...

That's just it, that's not a shadow. That was the color of his head.

I don't think it's a mean mouth and still think it's a largemouth. They can have dark pigmentation in some areas. Any more pics?
It looks more like a shadow to me.
I would still vote largemouth, but, feel free to call it what you want to.

Any more pics? I've never seen a pic of a meanmouth that didn't have similar colors and patches to a smallmouth. If you put your thumb over its face, the body is a largemouth all day. My vote is a odd colored largemouth, but I could see it being a hybrid possibly, disclaimer being I have no idea how possible that is
cant tell what it is without the jaws shut, and the dorsal and anal fins spread out to get a spine count. more than likely if its a hybrid there is no way to tell without a DNA test.
Large mouth
Pretty good article here on the subject…..
