@ChrisA Yeah, it's a Smallmouth. Was a little tough to tell cuz the pic is blurry, but just judging by the body shape and color it's too lean a fish to be ...more a Rock Bass. Plus, Rock Bass are much more..
Go on google images and you'll see that's definitely a smallmouth. If the dnr actually did check your fish you are very lucky they didn't fine you. @wyldechylde77 ...more can you please confirm the species?
@chrisA it's actually a rock bass it has red eyes and it is perfectly leag all the dnr was on the lake and even checked everything. And said it was leagal I ...more know the legal leangth
That's a smallmouth bass. In Wisconsin to keep a smallmouth it has to be 14 inches. That fish is illegal to keep. In the future know your species better so you ...more don't keep fish that aren't legal.
