mikechell 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2016 NICE Red Devil, Flats. I caught some of those in Hawaii. I didn't know they were also down there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fisherboy0301 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2016 Mike, was that a spot? His mouth looked small for a largemouth. But then again could just be the angle you're holding it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2016 I am not sure, either, Fisher. Here's another one, caught this evening from the same area. They look like small/large-mouth-spotted-guadelupe-redeye-sugar bass, to me. I am sure some of the biologists on the site will chime in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fisherboy0301 0 Report post Posted August 6, 2016 Mike the first bass had a more distinct lateral line and distinct change from light to dark with the faint spotting lines of a spotted bass. The second one has the more largemouth ish coloration and the mouth looks proportionate. The first ones mouth seems to curve down between the jaw and eye, a characteristic of smaller mouthed black basses. They do both have 9 dorsal spines and connected dorsal fins though... Idk...

mikechell 0 Report post Posted August 6, 2016 Yeah ... I fished this same area last year and caught the same mixed bag of bass. All of them are beautifully colored and healthy, just not very big. I KNOW some of them are Spotted Bass ... just not sure about all of them. I'll be posting a few more videos soon, which will show the variety better.

Bimini15 0 Report post Posted August 6, 2016 South Fla Warmwater Slam this morning on a shaved head muddler minnow: bluegill, bass and peacock bass. No great size to any of them but the peas are always so pretty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted August 6, 2016 That is a pretty Peacock Bass, Bimini. Goofy looking, with that breeding bump or whatever it is, but beautiful colors. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
