This is a spotted bass.
Spotted bass do not grow as large as the largemouth or the smallmouth bass. They only grow to about 18 inches, but most are found to be much smaller.
The upper part of the head and back are light to dark olive green, while the sides are silvery green, with a white-ish belly. They have a series of dark diamond shaped spots on it's sides. their eyes are redish in color.
Spotted bass prefer long deep silted pools of sluggish water. They basically occupy habitats that have been left by large mouths.
They spawn in early summer. Young spotted bass eat zooplankton and insects and graduate to eating crayfish and other fishes.
