Many people email us and ask us this question: How do I tell the difference between a black bass, a largemouth bass, a smallmouth bass, a spotted bass or a Kentucky Bass?Here is the all around answer! 1. Jaw Bone. The jaw bone of a spotted bass or smallmouth bass does not extend past the eye. 2. Cheek Scales. Scales around the eye/cheek area, are much smaller on a spotted bass than the scales along the rest of the body. On largemouth, the scales on the eye/cheek and the rest of the body are similar in size. 3. Tongue Patch. Spotted bass will have a rough patch of very fine teeth on their tongues. Do not use this characteristic by itself, because some largemouth have these teeth as well Some folks think spotted bass are hybrids, existing between largemouth and small mouth. Actually, they are a true separate species and not hybrids. Occurrences of hybrids such as the spotted & smallmouth, are referred to as the meanmouth. Also, all three species, the largemouth bass, spotted bass and smallmouth bass are all considered to be "black bass" |
