What kinda bass is this?

Bassboss · 04-10-11, 02:20 PM

A friend of mine down in Bama caught this bass in a little creek. Looks like smallie to me because of the dorsal fin, and eye. But with the sports, I'm not 100% sure. So, what kinda bass!

Looks like a regular Redeye to me

Real tough angle. Either a alabama spotted bass or a redeye bass. The key feature of the redeye is white edges along the tail fin, and I just cant see here. I think its an alabama spot. Nice fish.

ive always called them meanmouths large-small mix we got quite a few in a lake here at home.

bamabassman · 04-10-11, 06:07 PM

it has a RED EYE......so i say it is a redeyed bass.

flukefreak · 04-10-11, 08:01 PM

thought it was a shoal bass at first,but its a redeye coosa bass for sure

Not a gimme spots get a red eye at spawn time,however do believe it to be a coosa.

Bassboss · 04-10-11, 08:17 PM

So than I guess that makes this a smallie... he insists this a coosa.

flukefreak · 04-10-11, 08:31 PM

no sir that looks like a shoal bass to me, they are colored up similar to a small mouth

bamabassman · 04-10-11, 09:52 PM

shoal bass is my thoguht as well. the first one could be a cross between a red eye and a spot. think?

Imgoodatwhatido · 04-18-11, 01:23 AM

thats not a spot, but maybe a coosa, if it is, its a big one

walkeraviator · 04-18-11, 06:55 AM

Im with these guys, neither one is a smallmouth, but being as i have never fished in alabama, my experience with coosa bass and shoal bass is limited... so it could be those.

I ain't never heard of a "Redeye" bass....Nor a shoal bass for that matter, but yesterday my fishing partner caught what appeared to be a largemouth, by color and by pattern, but it had red eye's just like a smallmouth, and its lower jaw didn't extend beyond the eye. My first thought was it was some kind of hybrid smallmouth/largemouth, but I honestly don't know.

So for those of you that know more about these fish, please shed some more light on the subject of these "Redeye'd" bass for me please.
