Im not a bass fisherman or a trophy fisherman. I fish for relaxation and supper and as long as they taste good thats all i care about. I only post on this site to give some of the locals that may be on here an idea of whats going on at douglas. With the spelling police and species police the way they are on here it would do the same for me to just keep quite and fish on.

On further review ... it's definitely not a Smallmouth (they don't have wide black lateral lines) BUT, it may not be a Largemouth, either, if (as you say) it has the shorter jaw and red eyes. That would tend to make me believe that it's actually a Spotted Bass.

My apologies for the "correction" ... no disrespect intended.
