Had a pretty good day today, caught quite a few through out the day. I got the chance to fish a new body of water, and caught a real pretty Shoal, followed up by a really fat LM, back to back. I wish I had a picture to show how fat the LM was, 16" long and 13" around, no monster but a serious football.

But what was cool was how both of these fish are poster children for what a _____ bass should look like. Really cool to pull them both in.

As well all know, white belly, green lateral line, mouth extends past the eye

Obvious difference in color, but notice the body as well as mouth.

PS-The Shoal fought twice as hard as the LM

Very nice NGaHB, congrats on your day. I wish I had a chance to catch a shoal bass.

WTG, I have an Uncle who's fished the Alabama Rivers all of his life... and he says the same about a Shoal, more fight per lb than all of the LM's.

Awesome. I like that shoal, never caught one of those.

That shoal looks like a smallie to me but I know there different sounds like they fight like one though.
