Al Agnew Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Doesn't really look very un-typical to me...the dark stripe is a little less broken than normal, and the scattered dark spots below it are a little more prominent than usual, but all in all it looks pretty much like a largemouth from clear water to me.

Gavin Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Looks like it has some of those black dot parasites on it. Forget the name, but looks like a typical largemouth to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeD Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Whatever it is, its a little fish. I'm quite sure it put up a spirited fight and you were glad to catch it. Little. Fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I missing something? I went through literally hundreds and hundreds of photos I have of largemouth bass that I have caught. And a large portion of those from the exact same river. None of them have the scattered dark spots that this one has. Not this prominent. And that was my only reason for posting. But yeah other than that, it is just a plain ol typical largemouth bass.

Yes it was a very spirited fight. It was all I could do to hang on and bring her in. Rod bent and reel screaming, I was giddy with excitement. And I know you don't catch anything but large fish. I see it every time you post a pic. Even if it is the same two fish from years ago. You are my inspiration and the reason I fish.

Seth Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Why did I have to click on this thread? Now I probably won't sleep a wink until a scientific explanation for the coloration on that bass is figured out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinwrench Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I killed a quail once that had a couple solid black feathers on it. I was afraid to eat it so I just gave it to the dog. My dad kicked my butt up between my shoulder blades. "I spent 3 months breaking that dog of chewing birds!", he said.
