Not a Hybrid if you mean a Wiper type Hybrid, they are very different than this, they also have two tooth patches on their tongues.

Maybe, that would make it a mean mouth if I am not mistaken.

Did not check, we typically only check to distinguish the difference between a white bass and a wiper. White bass have 1 tooth patch, Wiper have 2.

Spots have a patch too

Was not aware of that, wish I would have checked now.

That thing sure has a tiny looking mouth. It could be some other kind of bass. I'd be willing to bet somebody on here will know what kind.

Had a very small mouth, don't know that I have ever seen one like it.
Scott F reply :
NOT a smallmouth. Spotted bass probably
Montanaro reply :
Spot
Broken up line and jaw does not extend past eyeball.
Not even close to a smallmouth.
Look up a meanmouth if you wanna see a coolfish
WRB reply :
Where was this bass caught?
Not a good photo to identify the species, it's doesn't any visual Smallmouth coloration, no bars. This bass has a dark patch (spot) at the end of the dark lateral line that is a spotted bass identifier, can't see if the dorsal fin is connected or where the jaw ends relative to the center of the eye.
It could be a Shoal bass or Red eye bass, depending the location where the bass was caught. Teeth on the tongue is a Spotted bass characteristic, not a Smallmouth.

That is definitely a spot. Go fish Spring River down there. It is a spot/lmb river and starts out arount Mt. Vernon, MO as a smallie river.

Small mouth/jaw.
Lines on belly.

J._Bricker reply :
If both small mouth and spotted bass are in a body of water their hybid offspring are "mean mouth" bass....
Ozark_Basser reply :
FYI just because it has a tooth spot doesn't make it a spot, but that fish looks like a spot.

That is not what a tiger bass is. Tiger bass are a very carefully bred cross between a specific kind of northern strain largemouth and a pure strain Florida bass. The results is a very aggressive and fast growing largemouth bass. A friend of mine lives on a lake that is heavily stocked with Tiger bass.

Yes sir....
And my vote is for spot as well
Karsonclowers reply :
I don't know how to quote but ok. I knew it was something like that. I heard there was a pond near our house that have them in it but we ain't allowed to fish it.
