Help with fish ID

Spotted or Guadalupe? It was caught at Stillhouse.

Likely a Guadalupe. But telling them apart is not easy.

Spot, Kentucky, Guadalupe, yup one of them

So what's the difference between the two?
After reading TWPD all I see that the black spots on Guads extend lower than that of the spots. Is there another way?

I'm not sure about stillhouse buy rayburn's spots have more definition that that. I would say it's a Guadalupe

DNA test will tell you. Ha..

Almost looks like a meanmouth...

My bet is spot/guadalupe hybrid

Snakehead... Right Devin!

Striped face makes me wanna call it a Guad.

I think it is a Spot/Smallmouth hybrid

I have never caught or seen a Guad but that doesn't look anything like the spots in the lakes around here. Our spots have more markings and have horizontal black lines on the belly area.

Cool looking fish whatever it is.

For sure. Throw it on the ground and kick the [censored] out of it.

Yes Guadalupe.

Guadalupe.... Mexican illegal fish in our waters,the Russians stocked our Lakes!!!!!!

Thanks for the responses. A local guide also is saying Guadalupe. I did not know that Stillhouse was blessed with these fish.

If I remember, I am thinking that a Guadalupe bass will have orange around the pupil of the eye

This is what i was thinking. Once knew a fella that called them Red Eye Bass.

Spot. Spots will also get orange around the pupil in the spring. Some people call them red eyed Kentuckys. Did it have a tooth patch on the tongue?

There is a Red Eye Bass (Coosa) living in streams in Alabama and Georgia. It's a very pretty fish and popular for Native American aquariums.
