Catching Spotted Bass

Unknown to most, cursed by many, and appreciated by a few, this powerful gamefish is often confused with both Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass. Spotted Bass are indeed a separate species and not a hybrid cross between their cousins. Spots were first discovered in the 1900's in Kentucky. It was not until 1927, that they were officially recognized as a distinct species. In 1958, the Spotted Bass was named the official state fish of Kentucky and is still recognized by the moniker "Kentucky Bass" in many areas.
