Interesting fish. At first glance its certainly a hybrid. There are lateral line markings (similar to a largemouth or spot), and horizontal bars below the lateral line (like a largemouth or spot). Not a great pic with its mouth closed, but it appears to have a bigger gape than a smallmouth, spotted bass, or Coldwaterfisher after a liter of Tito's😀. Would have never guessed smallie/largemouth cross.
