Wilbur ... it's a Spotted Bass, often called a KY Spotted Bass or a "Kentucky" or "Ky Bass". The KY aspect of its name was enforced over its simple "Spotted Bass" designation, back in 1956, when the KY General Assembly passed a Senate Resolution designating the fish as KY's official game fish.
The "tooth patch", smaller mouth/jaw, smaller overall size, and markings differentiate it from the Largemouth Bass upon visual inspection.

My thumb is still sore no that u mention it.... But i sure do like that pain. Reminds me of great times!!!
KY bass, aka Spotted bass, known in OH as Spots. So named due to the rows of spots near the belly. More common in rivers with current than largemouth. Nice mess of whites!
Look like footballs when you catch them below the dams. They love to eat.
