Black Bass (what we call all bass other than stripers and whites in the south) are really big bream. They’re sunfish just like bluegill and shell cracker. They’re all very good eating. If you’re lucky enough to fish herring lakes with spotted bass they’re is no reason to not keep spots and eat them. They’re easy to catch, eat good and if they’re not kept they will take over good largemouth lakes. If it were possible for most anglers to differentiate between them and LM there’d be no reason the limit couldn’t be as high as crappie or bream limits. They’re easy to differentiate but it’s to easy to pretend you didn’t know any better. If it has a sandpaper like toungue it’s a spot. If it don’t it’s a LM. A lot of people would pretend like they didn’t know and would keep 25 LMs.
