Description of Spotted Bass
Spotted bass (Micropterus punctulatus) fall between largemouths and smallmouths
in many respects, including appearance, and depth, temperature and habitat
preferences. Spotted, also know as the kentucky bass do not grow as large as the largemouth,
and unlike the smallmouth, do not have vertical bars on their sides. They have
smaller mouths and jaws like the smallmouth, but are marked with rows of spots
below the lateral line. They swim in schools more frequently than the other two
black bass and can often be found around deep, rocky structure.
