It wasn't very big. It weighed 2 lbs 13 oz. I took the close up pic to get the details of the coloration.
Interesting. This bass can't quite seem to decide if it's a Largemouth or a smallie.

Yea man those colors are crazy looking, have you ever caught one similar to that in the waters you were fishing? Or have any idea how/why it got like that?
I like the colors better than a regular largemouth
Different for sure. I wonder if he got teased as a fry...
hyperpigmented melanosis
Was the other side exact same pattern?
We get those splotchy bass quite a bit around here. Last year I caught a smallie I named "split face". One side of it's face was normal colored, the other side was almost black, and the line went perfectly down the middle of it's face. He was just a little fella, but I'll know if I ever catch him when he gets bigger I guess.

It is 26 degrees outside right now. Back below zero tomorrow night. It is snowing right now and we expect to get over 24 inches here in VT. There is 30 inches of ice on the lakes. YOU SUCK

Sorry but someone had to get out on the water. Even though the sun was shinning and the fish were well wet. LOL Buddy and I were side pulling for crappie. And the crappie won. Will be heading to Pickwick lake Sunday evening and camp and fish for 7 days. Again hate to do it but someone has to.
Hooked up and ready to roll.
Oh that's a pigmentation discoloration of the bass nation. Nice fish.

I have never caught one in Maine like that, or with any blotches. I have caught a couple in VT, in Lake Champlain. There are several ideas what causes it but not proof. We know what happens and why the fish is colored so. For some reason (yet unknown to science) something causes the pigment producing cells to produce an excess of melanin which cause the black coloration. There are several theories, increased handling from tournaments, human induced chemicals in the water, PCBs, poor water quality, etc.
