Spotted Bass

The spotted bass is olive-green dorsally, becoming white moving towards the belly. They are similar in appearance to largemouth bass but possess a spiny dorsal fin that is short and broadly connected to the soft dorsal. The species also has rows of spots below a dark lateral stripe and a black spot just in front of the tail.
