Living on the upper headwaters of the Perdido River this is new to me, I am only aware of the Largemouth Bass, refered to by the older generations as a Green trout. Have any been taken in the Perdido? and appx what size is common?

So are all these little bass we’ve been catching in Little and Big Escambia creeks this newly discovered species? We’ve caleed them Spotted Bass, or more accuratley, just Bass, for a long time. They look almost identical to this picture, but the tail is not nearly this yellow. But this could just be difference in enviornment, such as water temperatures and such. Just curious as to what we’re catching and eating. Whichever they are, they taste good fried, grilled or broiled!
