How to identify a Largemouth Bass

The largemouth bass closely resembles the smallmouth bass and other species i.e., spotted bass, redeye bass, etc. Together these fishes form a group that is referred to as the black basses. It is known by a variety of regional names, such as bucketmouth, bigmouth bass, black bass, largies, Florida bass, Florida largemouth and green bass. The largemouth can be distinguished from most similar species by the fact that its mouth extends at least to, and often beyond the rear edge of the eyes. Also, its first and second dorsal fins are almost separated by an obvious deep dip, and there are no scales on the soft-rayed second dorsal fin.
