Different Types of Bass

Depending on where you live, you have probably caught some spots (Kentucky bass) and just didn't know it. To the casual observer, they look just like a largemouth bass.

Largemouth, Smallmouth, Spots, White Bass and have caught several Rock Bass this summer. Still haven't caught any stripers yet. Of course, I have gone fishing for them yet either.  ::)

I believe they are.  

So far this year I've caught largemouth, smallmouth, stripers, spots, and wipers.  I haven't stumbled upon a white bass yet.

Interesting question:  over the course of this season I have caught a speckled bass (my partner called it a crappie) and a wiskered bass (my partner called it a cat fish) -- neither one counted though ;D

This is a real Rock Bass. Rock Bass is a local term for Striper in some parts of the country but it is like calling a Bowfin a mudfish, it is not the real name.

As for me I have caught Largemouth, Smallmouth, Striper, White Bass, and rock bass in fresh water. In saltwater I have caught Sand Bass, Calico Bass, Spotted Bay Bass, and White Sea Bass.

Yeah most people in VA use the striped bass and rockfish interchangeably.  

So far this year I have managed largemouth, smallmouth, spotted, meanmouth (various hybrids of the previous three), white bass (also called sand bass in OK and TX), and hybrids (also called wipers). We don't have stripers in my lakes, so I haven't got them yet.

A good way to identify spots to the untrained eye is fell their tongue. They have a patch of teeth on their tongue. LM's and SM's do not.

In the picture that Infidel posted, we call those red-eyes in KY. I used to catch alot in the creeks that run into the main lake. Great eating fish and tremendous fighters.

RW, don't ruin these kids. I have fished for most species of bass but, there is only one species that is a real bass, the brown ones !!! a, DUH,lol. I know, tuck and roll Jim. ;D :)
