Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Confirm Identification

Not an expert, but here's $0.02 worth:

I see a horizontal stripe on #1, which looks like a Largemouth to me.

#2 has radial stripes emanating from the eye on it's gill; perhaps a Largemouth/Smallmouth cross. (???)

It would be interesting to see how far big the mouths went wrt the eye when not being held. #2 does look to have a smaller mouth than #1.
