Default Re: Could these be meanmouth?

Its possible of course, but would be considered rare in the wild.. Up here in NY state, a LOT of lakes contain both species, and I personally have caught them right alongside one another, although the "experts" say they prefer "different habitats".. I have caught LMB around rocky shores, and SMB around weedbeds plenty of times, so these fish go where they want when they want... I have caught all kinds of odd stuff that I thought might be hybrids, in the sunfish /black bass families, and with esox species as well... Here's an interesting and quick read on the topic...
