Wicomico County Catch

Type: Nontidal
Region: Eastern
Location: Leonards Mill Pond

Hello, both fish in the pictures were caught in Leonard's Mill Pond in Wicomico County 9/20/11 around 5pm. The first fish caught is the one in which I am pictured, a largemouth a little over 13", the second fish pictured on the tackle box was caught about 20 minutes later and was about 15", it appears to be some type of bass but I am having trouble identifying the fish. It had a mouth about the size of the previous fish, but no lateral line it had spots all over the fish and appeared to be some species of bass. Any help identifying the fish would be appreciated. Thanks. Charles Nicolson

DNR Response: The fish in question appears to be a largemouth bass also, the species is known to have numerous color variations.
