smallmouth?? trying photobucket too?

brushhog · 06-04-07, 09:26 PM

Bear with me, trying to see if I can post a picture from photobucket. Caught this bass out of a remote pond my son and I fish- it is very different looking from the ones we usually catch... At the risk of sounding dumb, is it a smallmouth? It looks nothin like the smallmouth from the nearby river which are much more "striped" in appearance.

PS - I know the whole mouth and eyeball rule... but I'm just not that bright

looks like a large mouth to me. this is a more typical smallie my dad caught to give ya an idea of what they typically look like

smallies tend to be a little brownish.

RY -your Dad's is more like the river one's we catch - your Dad's is bigger! the one in my picture is way different in color and mouth size than the largemouth we usually catch in that pond that is what made me curious! Thanks guys..

That is definately a largemouth. They differ in color slightly from hole to hole. I catch some in a lake near my house that are almost white and some on the river that are real dark. Cant really explain why they are like that but I assume it has something to do with their environments and how they need to blend in to survive.
