What kind of Bass?

MacTheFuzz · 03-15-2010, 06:48 PM

Me and Wishin4Bass caught 2 of these on Blackwater Saturday. They look different than the typical largemouth (black bass). The eyes were really red and the overall markings were different. What kind of bass is it?

Kentucky bass, sometimes called spotted bass or spots. Great fighters!

Redeyes have reddish fins and tail.

I caught 2 of them in 3 mile creek,off of hwy 32 in Lillian,Sunday afternoon. Except mine were really dark(almost black) markings and really red eyes. The biggest one was 14 inches but he fought like a lot bigger fish. I didnt take pictures, cause my phone was almost dead, but I did release them......David

Definately a red eye!

Not a spot/Kentucky. It does have the mouth of a spot, but spots even in cold water have black pattern. Its a redeye.

Redeye, A flash from camera normally makes theentire eye red....doubt a flash was used in the daylight anyway.
