spotted bass
Striped lake fish
Spotted bass is a freshwater game fish native to the Mississippi River basin and Gulf states, similar to largemouth bass but smaller and marked with rows of dark spots along its lower sides.
It favors clearer, rockier waters than its relatives: The spotted bass hit on a crankbait near the bluff.
Also called Kentucky bass.
