Just wondering if anyone can help be identify this bass I caught Saturday. I am no expert on these things . From looking at several pictures I can't find one that is just like this one.

Spot, and boy does he need to eat! :Rofl
well he was chomping on schools of minnows lol. And he hit my crank bait before I started pulling it!! he was in shallow water maybe 2fow. If he had moved out about 10 feet into deeper water he could have had shiners 3 inches or more for a long time. :RoflQuote:

On a closer look I now think Alabama bass is correct. A spots jaw will extend to just below the eye. The jaw on the Alabama is shorter. This one is clearly shorter than than below the eye.

Just looks like a starving Largemouth to me. A Spotted Bass would have darker "spots" below the lateral line, but the clincher would be if the fish has a tongue patch.
:hesaid That is a Large Mouth bass but looks poor. I agree with Crappiepappy
I’ve caught a ton of Spots. As has been mentioned…did it have a tooth patch?? From the photo you can’t tell about the dorsal fin…which is different between a Spot and a largemouth. Hard to say with info at hand but I would say skinny largemouth.
