My best smallmouth/spot/mean mouth from last year went 4.2lbs. Maybe the state can figure this debate out. I read that it was checked by TPWD and it was determined to be crossbreed, I saw the post on FB.

I disagree. Looks like a big ole healthy spot to me. Hybrid is very possible but that is not a smallmouth by any means. I see these guys come into weigh-in saying well we caught a couple smallies and they pull out the fish and it is a true spot, just because its over 3lbs doesn't mean its no a Texas Spot as we called them. But what do I know I didn't do a dissertation or anything on Micropterus dolomieu (smallmouth) and Micropterus punctulatus (spotted bass.

I have caught 2 or 3 fish with the same color and shape from Ray Roberts in the past 2 years. I have caught smallmouth and spots previously and can identify them pretty readily. Not with those fish though.

I've caught several out of Texoma, biggest being 4.18lbs. For a couple of years I thought it was a big funny looking spot I had caught but awhile back I realized it was a hybrid. Great catch, I have it on my phone but am having trouble uploading it in its current format.

definitely not a smallmouth; some kind of hybrid.

I recieved a.response from tp&w and they are still waiting on the test results from what I gather from the response I got. Excellent. What did you send? Scale sample? About 8 years ago in a Media T on Roberts back when slot, a buddy weighed in a Kentucky that was around 5 lbs, after much debate at the livewell tank it was not allowed and he sent pics off to TPWD, they said more than likely it was cross btw largemouth and Kentucky, but they would of needed scale samples and I believe at the time it would taken killing the fish for that.
