smallmouths
Bronze-backed river fish
Smallmouths is the plural of smallmouth, a freshwater fish properly called the smallmouth bass.
Anglers prize smallmouths for their fighting spirit: We caught three smallmouths before noon.
The name distinguishes them from largemouth bass, their close relatives.
