      @LivewellHero @wyldechylde77 I agree. That's definitely a spot, but if it was more difficult to tell, look for the connected dorsal fins, cheek scales, and mouth ...more length like @wyldechylde77 suggested.

      It is definitely a tricky angle @wyldechylde77

      @LivewellHero And that's a good thing, bro. Your eyes can automatically see the small differences based on your experiences. I agree, I do think it is a Spot, ...more but it's so hard to tell at that angle.

      ...pretty different

      I'm just gonna be honest @wyldechylde77 , for me, it's just not hard at all to distinguish a spot from a largemouth. I've caught a ton of each. Sometimes ...more they may look similar, but they just both...

      ..reference. Largemouth Bass can sometimes have these patches as well, so it is an unreliable way to identify the species.

      If the cheek scales are the same size as the body scales, it's a Largemouth. If the jaw extends past the eye, it's a Largemouth. If not, it's a Spot. ...more Do not use the tooth patch on the tongue for..

      If the bridge between dorsal fins clearly connect, it is a Spotted Bass. If not, or too "deep" to tell, it's a Largemouth. If the cheek scales are ...more smaller than the scales on the body, it's a Spot.

      @wyldechylde77 I've caught many a spot. And yes, it's hard to tell from this pic. But, I'm going off of the belly and head. But, obviously, I can't ...more look for teeth on its tongue or see its jaw clearly

      ...a Largemouth Bass. It's real tough to tell in this picture, but does the bridge between the dorsal fins clearly connect or is it spaced? Are the cheek scales ...more uniform or smaller than the rest? Ans:

      @LivewellHero @wolfman You boys just going on looks and assumption? Because it's not that easy. The pic makes it tough to tell, but there are two very easy ways ...more to distinquish a Spotted Bass from..

      Yeah I agree with @LivewellHero looks like a spot to me

      Hard to tell from the picture, but I'm pretty certain that is a spot. Mainly based on the horizontal dotted stripes down its belly.
