I was out fishing today, and he must have swam into my vented bucket I had floating in the water.

I think it's a baby big mouth bass, but just want to make sure. Thanks in advance everyone.
 
Those minnows with black lines are largemouth.
 
Looks more like a smallmouth to me? Could somebody post pics of definite known LM vs SM at this size?
 
Fishing

Anglers will find Pratt's Wayne Woods' four lakes offer 38 acres of the finest fishing in the county. Pickerel Lake, Catfish Pond, Horsetail Pond and Beaver Slough are all former gravel pits that are stocked periodically with channel catfish and largemouth bass. Bluegill, crappie, flathead catfish and sunfish can also be found in these waters. Anglers can enjoy the limestone shoreline or can take advantage of the two piers on Pickerel Lake. Boating is not allowed on the lakes.

ehh??? :screwy:

btw i think thats largemouthbass. Nice accidental catch! hehe
 
I still wonder if it's a smallmouth
 
Yes, I am aware of the "jaw / eye" thing, which is why I still wonder. The jaw is a bit in front of the eye actually in this picture. This is why I suggested somebody post pics of same-sized babies of both.
