No... It's not a LMB.
This is a spot. I thought I would post the pic to show the differences in the lateral and the obvious horizontal baring (ventrolateral) below lateral and the alternating molt pattern above lateral.
Jim you have no horizontal definitive baring and your caudal tips are not pointed-THAT is a LMB.
We collected Spots for fin-clip samples for age structure analysis Wednesday. This wasn't an ID question, this was an educational picture.
