The largemouth, Micropterus Salmoides, is normally larger than the smallmouth, Micropterus Dolmeides. The smallmouth is more of a bronze color, while the largemouth is dark green or blackish on top.The smallmouth's dorsal notch is not as pronounced as the largemouth's, and the largemouth's closed mouth extends past the eye, while the smallmouth's ends in front of the eye. Pound for pound, most angler consider the smallmouth the better fighter.
