i will never keep a smallmouth or largemouth but i keep the heck out of spottes bass. they are yummy.
Exactly. It looks like a largemouth but it doesn't look like that jaw would extend past the eyes like a traditional largemouth. Definitely looks like a hybrid of some sort. More than likely a spot/largemouth hybrid.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.
