Black bass
Detailed Description
Two black bass (Micropterus spp.) caught during the 2026 Bassmaster Classic in Knoxville, TN held on the Tennessee River. The fish on the left is a smallmouth bass, the fish on the right is what is known by bass anglers as a “meanmouth,” which is a hybrid between Alabama bass (M. henshalli) and smallmouth bass (M. dolomieu).
