Are these Spotted Bass? They both had rough patches on the tounge. I was Confused when I caught them because they don't look exactly like a Smallmouth or a Largemouth, but they still have features of both.[fishin]

First off, welcome to the site. I would say the first fish is a smallmounth because of the vertical bars on the body. The second fish is a largemouth, because it looks to me like the bar is horizontal. Hard to tell for sure on the second fish.

Small one is a rock bass. Notice the red eyes. Top one looks like a lgmouth. Not alot of lines on her.
