[JacobDobson]

nice fish but i think they need to be a lil longer and wered u catch it at

[keeb]

how big is that is it really a nice fish just wonderin because i catch fish bigger then that and ive been gettin mad but if that a good size then maybe i should stop beatin myself up for not catch big fish.

That is definatley a dink but is is pretty and it's a spotted bass. Anyhow it is a nice fish for a newbie and it's not a keeper

[Bassin_Dude]

spotted? looks LM to me.... is there like different strands of LM or something.....cause thats a LM....

[mallard]

Nice colors!

Bass in my pond usually have black backs (mud bottom.)

Some people have different ideas about what is big and small.
I don't put down any bass, I say any bass is a good bass!

Spots have a smaller mouth, it looks like one to me to, but could be a largemouth that has some growing to do, just think what she could look like in 5 years lmfao[img] http://img297.echo.cx/img297/382/nicefish10fb.jpg [/img]

See how that fish has the real define latteral line w/ diamond shaped spots and the rest of the fish seems to have a checkered patteren that is 100% spot here is on I cought you can see there real similar

[hope]

looks like a spot to me. A.K.A. Kentucky spot. Black diamonds are dead give away, I bet if you laid her on her side her mouth wouldn't extend beyond her eye like a LM, just a little FYI.

[Bassin_Dude]

i learn something new everyday 8)

can they be found here in FLA?

[FishinMommy]

We call them Kentuckies here ;D

[pondfisher]

Whatever it's called it was fun to catch! Replying to how much it weighed, I don't know. I don't have a scale or tape measure in my T-Box. As well, I release all my catches no matter what the size because I'd like to (as JB so hilariously put it) catch it again in five years. As to where I caught it, West Point Lake LaGrange, GA.

Spotted bass also have a dark spot located on the gill cover which the fish in the pic is missing. A Spotted bass also has a rough tongue patch located in the middle of the tongue while a largemouth lacks the tongue patch. You can't tell by looking at the picture but maybe Pecksteel could answer that for us.

[pondfisher]

As far as I remember it did not have a rough patch. Although, I wasn't paying attention that much. Sorry.

[madmarty]

Yeah it would be kind of hard to notice if you weren't lookink for it.

[pondfisher]

Well I'm headed back out there tonight for the weekend so hopefully catch another just like it and see! Although I'm going to have to get a disposable camera as my girlfriend took the digital to MI for her Brothers wedding!!

[hope]

Here is some info:

We had a 4.5 lb spot weighed in once at Ky lake tournie, it was full of eggs and awesome!
Generally up here the fight well, and usually about 1-2 lb range, but can get bigger 8)
