You were told right TG but the problem is so does a largemouth until he gets older. Some studies indicate that the largemouth looses that patch of teeth around 6" long and other have shown that he looses it around 12" long. It prbably depends on growth rate etc.,

Straw Hat and others,

I depend on the Dorsal Fin, The spots down the side, and the Jaw hinge point under the eye. I think that the scales on the bottom part of the 2nd Dorsal fin is a good indicator but with the crosses it may not exist. I have noticed the rough patch on the smaller Largemouth myself. If you go to the Oklahoma Department of Fish and Game on the internet I seem to remember them having a description of the Kentuckies. As you may know Oklahoma is pretty much at war with these Kentuckies as they have done stocking of the Florida Bass and do not want them crossing together. I personally think that our Conservation Department should implement educating the Missouri Fishermen about the characteristics of our three main Black Bass. Maybe then we could get the Kentuckies in a different category. All this talk about fishing is making me want to go after them. Come on Saturday night!!!!!!
