I can't hardly afford to be picky about what I catch. 

I pretty much only fish for largemouth, but that's just because that's all we have in my area. no SM and the only areas that really have spots are tiny streams where they very rarely break 14"

My personal best from when I lived in Tennessee- Smallmouth and Largemouth over 6 lbs., Spotted bass over 5 lbs. When bass fishing these days where I live, I only target Spots, with light and ultralight tackle. Lots of action, lots of fun this time of year!

What Mike said. 

I only fish for smallmouth and largemouth bass. Most of the time it’ll be largemouth.

My bass fishing efforts locally are almost always focused on Smallmouth.

I don't always do so good. 

I'll use a passport to get my LMB fix.

As smallies are relatively rare in the lakes I fish, I'm pretty much a largemouth guy.

Darn, Andy - that looks like one of my efforts.

I fish for stupid bass, I don't have the time or skill to fish for the smart ones.
