Mouth is smaller, and there's a very distinctive oval of teeth on the SB's
tongue.

Speaking of which... Is there a definitive way to identify a spotted
bass
vs a largemouth bass?

I boated a 3lb LM yesterday that was covered with black splotches.
Other
than the splotches, the fish looked great. Anyone know what's going on
with
the fish?

It was on Van Sciver Lake in SE PA.

Is similar in appearance to the largemouth bass. Has green to
olive-green hue; white, mottled belly; and a broad stripe of broken
blotches, usually diamond-shaped, along the midline of the body.
Unlike the largemouth, the spotted bass has scales on the base portion
of the second dorsal fin; its first and second dorsal fin are clearly
connected, and its upper jaw does not extend past the eye. Above the
lateral line there are dark markings, and below the lateral line the
scales have dark bases that give rise to the linear rows of small
spots which are responsible for the common name.
