I think its a spotted bass not lmb, what u think?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Spotted are in missouri and looking at its fins i would say a spotted bass, would like to get a picture of the tail, it would be more forked then a lmb.
 
In the second pic it looks like a spotted.
 
Spotted. The smallest and largest dorsal spines are closer in size than they would be in a LMB. One often overlooked trait is that spotted bass usually have a tooth patch on the tongue, while LMBs usually don't.
 
Having the same confusion.Is this one spotted too?

No, that one is LMB. Look at the spinous dorsal fin. The longest spines are much longer than the shortest ones (near the soft dorsal). This gives the appearance of the dorsal being split. On spotteds, Guadalupes, etc, the fins look more connected.
 
I agree, 2nd one is a LMB, first is definately a spotted.
