Decatur and elk river mills report

I fished Decatur week before last and had a blast. Caught about 30 plus bass in 3 hours. Had a 6 plus small mouth first 2 pics. Had another close to 5 and several 3 plus . I had a 5 LM and several spots in the 3 lb range. I fished last Thursday afternoon and 200 boats from the BFL were everywhere. Managed about 9 with a couple good small mouth ( last 2 bass pics ) All were caught close to the barge tie offs on live shad. boats were all around me with only 1 small bass caught on artificial by them. Fished yesterday at elk river mills and had 2 tiny bass and 1 crappie. Anyone know how to tell the mean mouth ( small mouth lm cross ) from a regular small mouth. Have caught some that were hard to tell what they were.

Very nice! Thanks for sharing.

Very cool, good job! Sometimes I struggle to tell the difference too. Mostly have to look at corner of the mouth as it relates to the eye to tell the difference.

Great job! Thanks for sharing.

Nice bronze backs! Congrats on a good day out!

From what I have read, the mean mouth is a cross between a spotted bass and a smallmouth. And look for the tooth patch on the tongue to identify.
Good pics and nice fish!

Very nice , I've got to get up there and get on them smallmouth one day.
