Spotted bass are in the Micropterus or the so called black bass family with large mouth bass. They are a distinct species, though cross fertile with the other related species. That is a very good spotted bass. I've caught a very few longer, but none near that girth or weight. That fish is likely loaded with eggs. Most of the bass in unstocked waters, near where I grew up, near Cincinnati, were spotted bass. Keith
