LOL...yeah, I did that, and colouring seems, to me at least, to be VERY similar.  I guess you can say that largemouth tend to be greener and smallmouth tend to be browner?  The smallmouth has more vertical barring.  However, the mouth seems to be the best indicator.  Thanks anyway, Andy, but I guess your expertise was not needed after all.  There are more bass aficionados that I thought. 

[Sam6140]

Yup, largemouths are definitely pretty green and have larger mouths.  I have caught many.   And Andy has said that there are no Smallmouths in the Lower Mainland.  And I concur.  Smallmouths tend to be slimmer as well.

smallie are also a more vecouise eater then largies and as much as i love to fish for them im happy they are not in the lower rain land  and sorry i took so long to respond i was at work lol

but yeh the mouth is a big given on identy and as is colour smallies are more brownish and largies are greenish also the bars on there sides are different and is some times smallies have red eyes

how do i put a pic in here

Smallie colour varies greatly in different waters.

Mesotrophic, Oligotrophic & Eutrophic lakes as well as different rivers/streams produce fish of quite startling shades-from pale grey to dark brown with  distinct greens in between.

The chameleon effect of Smallies is quite well known-hold one in a dark fish well for a while and see the change.

The barring of smallies and their jaws are the best way to tell.



Smallie - Right
Largie - Left

This is a cool video: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juFC4ldRzk4&feature=related[url]

A lot of people keep Bass as pets in the States.  I didn't know that!  There's a whole bunch of videos of people's pet bass, and them being fed.  Man, they really do eat!  I would love to have a huge aquarium and have a few bass.

can you find smallmouth bass and largemouth bass in the same lake? or do they live in different habitats?

[noxcape]

you can find them in the same lake but in different parts of it the smallies like the deeper colder parts of the lakes where the largie liek the shallower warmer parst
vaseaux and ossoyoos  have both large and smallmouth in them
