It does looks like a largemouth, but hard to tell its a hybrid.

Jawline is forward of his eye.

I've never caught one that looked like this one. I thought it was a smallmouth but the Game Warden and others from a fishing forum say Mean Mouth.

I think you mean large mouth?

 

[wcgunns]

Definitely not a largemouth

Looks like a LMB with eye placement of a SMB.....Looks to be a good candidate for a hybrid.

Maybe look in to the other Micropterus species too, down south theres many more Micropterus species than just large and Smallmouth. Possibly a spotted bass?

Looks like a regular smallmouth to me.
