The Differences Between Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass
While there are many differences between these two bass species, there are also a lot of similarities. One of the main questions is; “How do you tell them apart?” The quickest way is to look at how far their mouth extends back. The back of the mouth extends well beyond the eye when viewing a largemouth’s profile, while the mouth of a smallmouth bass will stop about even with the middle of its eye.
