Need a bass ID

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Its a Largemouth. The moss green is a give away. The mouth extends past the eye, there's a single horizontal band and the spinous and soft-rayed parts of the dorsal fin are separated by a small gap. Smallmouth's have a more defined bronze color, many vertical bands, one continuous dorsal and a shorter mouth.

This is my Smallmouth... (If you draw a vertical line from the center of the eye, the mouth does not extend past it, with lmb's it will!)

Good luck with your bass!
 
as everyone else said LMB. Nice looking too, so get it off the carpet! Poor thing...
