  Yeah if you have one of each next to each other it's really easy, generally the white bass will be larger as well, the 15 inches i had was certainly a white ...more bass.

  yeah it is hard to tell.. I had a DNR come talk to me last fall, and that's what I was calling them, but the DNR said that they was considered to be a white ...more perch.. but I think one of the few ways to tell is by the number of spines on the dorsal fin. I think you might be right. I think the white perch has less, I think its 7 spines.. or something like that.. but either way still a nice catch. lol

  I think it was a white bass, I threw it back because it was foul hooked , three I kept were certainly white bass but it's really hard to tell In the maumee.
